ONE OF THE MOST motivational features of any new tool is watching its social effects. Such it is with learning the alphabet--you get to write Christmas cards.
For the past week, I have watched our six year old try to carefully print names on envelopes and then painstakingly print her name on the back of each envelope. Her writing style is 90% accurate because only one out of every 10 of her cards has returned for being unknown to An Post.
Mia is very driven to use all the letters in the alphabet during her Christmas card addressing. In this shot, she has found the letter Z in Hazel. I think I will help her mark her result by putting pinpoints on a map and connect the points on a List.ly list.
