If the child asks you how to spell an item, spell outeach letter slowly and wait until he or she has written it beforereciting the next letter in the word. At the store, ask the child toread the items he or she has added to the list and then ask for help

selecting the items that are to be purchased. By combining lettersinto words that help make a task simpler, the child will discover theimportance of letters and the sounds associated with them. This willprovide a successful introduction to early reading.
