Letter D words: Letter
D Worksheet and Mini Book program: These materials can be used to reinforce letter practice and to identify related D words. Read suggested instructions for using the worksheet
and mini-book.
Finger and Pencil Tracing: Trace letter D's in upper and lower case with your finger as you also sound out the
letter. Invite the children to do the same on their coloring
page. Encourage the children to trace the dotted letter,
and demonstrate the direction of the arrows and numbers that help them trace the
letter correctly. During the demonstration, you may want to
count out loud as you trace so children become aware of how the number
order aids them in the writing process.
Find the letter D's: Have the children find all the
letter D's in upper and lower case on the page and encourage them to circle
or trace/shade them first.
Coloring Activity: Encourage
the children to color the image in the coloring page.
