  • Offers a sense of success with each completed letter
  • Easy to adapt for low, middle, or high cognitive levels

“Let’s look at these letters together. Each one is from the words ‘New Years.’ We’ll think of a word that starts with each letter. Take your time—there are no right or wrong answers.”
You can offer choices if needed:
“For the letter N, would you like to say ‘night’ or ‘nest’?”

You can also use visual cues:
“Here’s a picture of snow. Snow starts with S.”
