[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 528542, member: 1233"] Does V like all rocks, like general ones, or does he like specific colors or shapes or types of rocks? Is he into them because they are rocks as a group or bc they each have something special that attracts him and if so, what is it that attracts him? There is a reason I am asking - you can go to kids stores and museums and get little bags you can fill with polished rocks for a price. You can also order specific rocks online, esp ebay, for amazing prices. Things like amethysts and other low quality gemstones can be quite inexpensive, agan esp on ebay. or they used to be. I am thinking that getting some and both making letters with them and making lessons that show the purple rock is amethyst which starts with A, along with the things Buddy suggests could be helpful. I also think working on the ABC song but using the letter sound instead of name might help some. Ah beh ceh deh eff guh huh instead of a b c d e f g are how you would sing it. I probably didn't spell the letter sounds right, but you get hte picture. Many stores iwth kids books and kids music have cds wth songs for kids that help them learn these things and they are FUN. It also works with math. In the car is an AWESOME time to sing songs about this stuff and do verbal games with sounds etc... These might help. You could even make books for him easily with pics he helps you find in magazines, online, ones you draw or he draws, etc.... Just get one of those cheap photo books where you slide the picture into the pocket with the clear cover (the dollar store often has them). Put the picture and the letter or sound on the same or facing page. You can also paint the letter onto a rock if you want. Whether he likes it because it is an amethyst or it is a smooth round rock or a jagged rock or whatever, you can paint the letter or whatever on the rock. just put a layer of clear nail polish over it to seal it.
