Writing Valentines
How Sweet! 

Beginner

Create Valentine's cards for the special people in your life, encouraging your child to draw pictures, print simple words, and the recipient's name.

Tip: Brainstorm words such as love, happy, hugs, and have your child practice writing short words. 

​

Intermediate

Create Valentine's cards with simple messages like, "I love you," "You are special to me/us"

Tip: Encourage your child to write slowly and neatly, so recipients can read their card with ease.

​

Experienced

Come up with personalized messages for your Valentines as a family, and help your child spell difficult words by sounding them out.

Tip: Point out unconventional letter sounds like how "ph" sounds like the letter F in words like phone and photo.
