Stallone Tested & Approved: We did this activity a year ago, and boy what a year does. It was simple for Stallone, he was able to sort the letters right away. He had a little problem thinking the lower case "a" was a "p," but other than that easy! I had him name the shapes that the letters were written on as well..great activity!

"A goes in here!"
