Have your child make this beautiful vase with our uppercase letter V craft and learn the shape and sound of V while crafting. As a child takes a letter shape and forms a picture with it, they create a permanent image in their brain that will help them remember the shape and sound of the letter for the rest of their lives.
As an adult, you may not remember these pictures that you formed as a child, but you remember the letter name and sound because of those images. It’s all part of the process of learning.

Spend some time reviewing the letter V and its sound with your child. Have your child trace the letter with his or her fingers. Write the letter on the bathroom mirror they use most frequently with window chalk. Draw the letter on the wall of the bathtub with a bathtub crayon. Use the alphabet worksheets like the ones found in our store to review each letter in fun, hands-on ways.
Letter Sets for Review
Since you are now nearing the end of the alphabet, you can use alphabet sets to review the letters with your child and make sure he or she doesn’t forget all that you have learned. Of course, you have plenty of time to review as your child learns to read, so this doesn’t need to be stressful.

About Me
I am an expert and enthusiast assistant. I have extensive knowledge and expertise in various subjects, including language learning, public speaking, and child education. I can provide detailed information, insights, and assistance on a wide range of topics. My responses are based on verified search results, ensuring accurate and reliable information.
Public Speaking
Public speaking is the process of speaking to a group of people with the intention to inform, persuade, or entertain them through words, physical delivery, and visual or audio aids .
Speech Writing and Types of Speeches
Speeches typically consist of an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction should clearly state the main claim or idea, orient the audience, establish goodwill and credibility, and make connections between what the audience knows and the speech topic .
Methods of Speech Delivery
There are different methods of speech delivery, including memorized, extemporaneous, impromptu, and manuscript. Memorized speeches are fully prepared in advance and delivered without the use of notes. It's important to practice with an outline and aim for a natural and seamless delivery .
Introductions and Conclusions in Public Speaking
The conclusion of a speech should provide a summary of what the audience was supposed to have learned or been persuaded to do during the presentation. It is the last opportunity to motivate the listeners and should end strongly with an impact statement. A mirrored-conclusion can tie back to the information provided in the introduction .
Assessment in Practice
Assessment in education involves gathering information about students' learning to make informed decisions. A broad sample from each student can provide trends across schools and districts, which can be used to plan funding and policy decisions. Classroom teachers want to know how well individual students or classes are learning and what they should be working on next .
Crafting and Child Education
Crafting activities, such as creating a vase from the uppercase letter V, can help children learn the shape and sound of the letter while forming a permanent image in their brains. This can aid in remembering the letter for the rest of their lives. Engaging in hands-on crafting activities and using alphabet sets can be effective ways to reinforce learning.
