10 Ways to Introduce the Letter G

The letter G was always one of my favorite letters when I was a kid. I don’t know if that makes me weird for having a favorite letter or not, but I just remember liking it’s smooth curves and the fun tail it had when you wrote it in lowercase. It could also be that my kindergarten teacher had a fun song about the letter G too. In any case, if you are creating a lesson plan for your child for the letter G, here are some awesome ideas to get you started!
