K.2.PWS.2 Students will sequence the letters of the alphabet. A-Z for Mat Man® and Me presents Letter Lessons in sequential order. However, we recommend that the letters are taught in developmental order. Similarly, Kick Start Kindergarten introduces letter writing in a developmentally appropriate progression, rather than in sequence order.
