Question pretext
We will play an alphabet game now. I will point to letters and I want you to tell me what letters they are. It's OK if you don't know all of them, just do your best.
Show the child a copy of the letter chart. Using another sheet of paper cover all rows of the table except Row 1 so that it doesn't distract the children. Point to the first letter in the first row, and ask the child.
Literal question
17-A. What letter is this?
