ACTIVITY 2 - ALPHABET ORDER
This activity strengthens alphabetical order skills. Your child will recognize
that the letters of the alphabet are arranged in a certain order. He or she

letters. Your child will be asked specific questions such as, “What letter
comes before B?” He or she will then have the opportunity to look at the
letter buttons and find that letter.
