Chapter 1
When Letters Won’t Sit Still
Notice Letters That Move
Sometimes letters do not look still. They may bounce, blur, flip, or slide. A word can feel like a toy car rolling away. Reading can feel hard when letters will not stay in one place.
This does not mean you are lazy. Your brain is working hard to read. Fun fact: b, d, p, and q can look like the same letter turned in different ways!
We can notice what letters are doing. Then we can find ways to help them stay calm.
Try the Moving-Letter Game
You need: paper, a pencil, and two crayons.
Here is a quick example. Write:
b d p q
Circle the b with a red crayon. Put a blue box around the d. The letters are like little dancers. Their sticks and round bellies point in different ways.
Your Turn
1. Ask a grown-up to write b d p q in a row. 2. Point to each letter with your finger. 3. Say its name slowly. 4. Circle every b in red. 5. Circle every d in blue. 6. Draw a small arrow showing which way the stick points. 7. Tell your grown-up: “The letters stayed still,” or “The letters felt like they moved.”
You are done when you have pointed to all four letters and colored every b and d.
Great job if you used your finger, said the letters, and told how they felt.
Make It Your Own
Use different colors. Try green for p and yellow for q. Say each letter like a funny animal sound.
Try it faster, but stay careful. Point to each letter two times without skipping one.
Do it with a friend or grown-up. One person points, and the other person names the letter. Then switch.
Show What You Notice
Circle yes or no:
• Did any letter look like it moved? Yes / No - Did your finger help you follow the letters? Yes / No - Did b and d look different? Yes / No - Draw a circle around the letter that feels easiest: b d p q
Give yourself a ⭐ if you tried, even when the letters felt wiggly.
Can you draw a tiny letter dancer and show which way it moves?
