I don't see the point of pushing. Does she like to "read" books? Does she go to preschool? She'll pick it up eventually. [ Reply | More

Ummm, I feel like I'm missing something here...she shouldn't know her letters yet--unless she's some sort of genius. Seriously, this is an age that they should be learning about stories, enjoying them, holding books properly, turning pages, anticipating events. Learning about print and letters comes later-at a more age-appropriate time. Pushing will not help. They learn when they are ready. Those letters do not "mean" anything to them at this point. They are basically meaningless symbols. This is a process-and letters on their own at age three are basically meaningless shapes. [ Reply | More
