Letter T — Turtle.

A steady blue turtle walks in for the letter T. T ticks like a little clock — t, t, t — and the turtle is the most patient teacher of the sound.

THE CARD — DRAW RIGHT ON IT

Trace T t, circle the turtle.

This is T’s own card from the class. Pick a crayon, then trace the big letter and the little letter right on the card with your finger, a stylus or the mouse — and circle turtle. Press Save my work when you are proud: your drawing stays here for next time.

ASSOCIATION CARDT t — Turtle

“t — tuh, a quick tongue tap”

T says tuh — a quick tongue tap behind the top teeth, like a tiny clock: t, t, t. Keep it short and crisp — tuh, not tuh-uh.

TAKE IT OFF SCREEN

Turtle pace.

Two minutes is plenty. Follow your child’s lead and stop while it is still fun — that is the whole method.

  1. 01

    Walk the room at turtle speed — the slowest steps you can make — ticking t, t with each step.

  2. 02

    Carry a cushion shell on your back for one lap.

  3. 03

    Finish with a turtle stretch: arms and head tucked in, then out.
