1. Shuffle the cards and place the cards face down in a fan shape.
2. Ask each child to pick a card.
3. The child then turns over the card and looks at the letter.
4. The child then has a go at writing the letter on the Write and Wipe Board.
5. The cards then get put back together and the child picks another letter.
