Have fun and be creative for rare letters like “Q” and “X”

Teach your child to recognize the letters of his or her first name. Use the refrigerator magnets or letter cubes to show the child the ones that make up his first name. For example, when the child finds a letter of his or her first name, congratulate him or her and say, “Yes! This letter is in your first name! “
