We practiced forming and identifying the letters M-R. The lowercase p and q look similar, so here's a little trick to help them remember:
Have your child make two thumbs with their hands. Next, they will place their thumbs so they are pointed at the ground. Then, tell them that p comes before q in the alphabet. This means that the first thumb pointed down is the letter p and the second thumb is the letter q. For students who are familiar with alphabetical order this tricks works well.
