Choose 4 to 5 easy, three-letter words like "cat," "sun," "dog," and write each word's letters on separate cards.</p><p>Scatter the letters in front of your child, say the whole word out loud, then ask them to arrange the letters in the right order to form it. Sound out the word letter by letter to help them connect sound with written letter.</p><ul><li>Choose 4 simple three-letter words your child already knows verbally.</li><li>Write each word's letters on small, clear separate cards.</li><li>Scatter one word's letters in front of your child and say it aloud.</li><li>Ask them to arrange the letters to form the word, helping as needed.</li><li>Celebrate every word they build successfully to keep them motivated.</li></ul>
