Intoducing Greek or Hebrew to a 5 year old

[Einen]

DD (5.5yo) is done with Zaner-Bloser 1. Right now I'm considering continuing hand writing lessons with the Greek alphabet (or possibly Hebrew) to fill out her K year.

Has anyone else done something similar with a wee one? Would you please help me jump start my research into curriculum and/or how to present the info? We will do 15 minute lessons 4 days a week.

Thank you!

go to this site (http://www.inthebeginning.org/ntgreek/) and download the handwriting sheets for the lowercase letters. They are especially nice for the younger crowd because there are shaded letters for tracing, as well as space to write on your own. You can also hear the letters being read and see the correct formation on your screen.

Then, I made up a small 5 by 5 grid with a free space in the middle and greek letters in the other ones to play Greek bingo. I made flashcards with the upper and lower case letters on the same card and took turns with the children calling out the letters and finding them on our bingo boards.

Hey Andrew Teach Me Some Greek also sells a primer that would be appropirate and gentle for a 5-year old.

Have fun!
