This is essential preparation for reading.These children are tracing and identifying the letter ‘e’ and its sound by using the sandpaper letter ‘e’.Color Box 4: This child is selecting the lightest of the colored tablets and placing them in order lightest to darkest until all of the tiles have been put in order.
