[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child showed interest and aptitude for early pre-literacy, what did you do as a next step? Types of games, activities, etc.  
I have a 15 y.o. who can name about 15 letters and points correctly to all letters. Recently he started pointing to letters pretty much anywhere (label on a soft toy, side of his bathtub, books) and naming the ones he can name. I am a little freaked out, but would like to give him age appropriate development opportunities.  We don't own flash cards, but have a lot of books and a foam mat with letters and numbers (which started this I think). If you found great books or sites for early development, please share.

Age appropriate would be concentrating on language which is a great predictor for future success and not rote memory which isn't.  Put away the alphabet toys, and buy things that build concepts and dramatic play. A kid who can learn letters at 15 months will learn them easily later, so all you're doing now is teaching party tricks.  [/quote]

Eye roll.... we're not having parties, no need for party tricks. It's something he likes, he has other toys too, but at this point I am not putting away books in order for him to unlearn letters. [/quote]
