- Handwriting: Practicing the straight line and smooth curve of D and d.
- Phonics: Reinforcing that D says /d/ through sound and picture association.
- Motor Skills: Strengthening hand-eye coordination with dot markers and tracing pages.
- Vocabulary: Expanding word knowledge with familiar D words like dog, dress, donut, and diamond.
