 HOW TO LEARN THE  LETTER  it

Make an index card with the letter it on it in black
Then make one in red
And then make one in green.
And another in blue.

Then make a set of index cards in big letters and again in black, red, blue, and green.
Do the same with small letters and really big letters.

Why the different sizes and colors? Because while a linear learner might be able to see that a letter in a different font is still the same letter many of these kids (fragmented learners) cannot.  So we learn it in different colors, different sizes, and different fonts.  


Now you should have a deck that looks like this.

Show the card with it  on it


it
and say
What is this letter?
The only acceptable answer is “it”
Only "it" is acceptable.

There are to be no associations, illustrations, or hints of any type.

What is this?

it

it

Do not do anything except say
 "What is this?"
and show the card

it

"it" is the only acceptable answer.


If he gets it wrong. No big deal. Don't sigh or frown or get angry. Just say “no this is it ”.

Do it as much as possible. 10 times per day minimum, thirty times per day is better.  Each episode should last less than thirty seconds.  Ten times a day only comes out to 5 minutes per day.  Do it day after day until he gets it.  Two days two weeks, who cares? Just keep doing it until he gets it.

Do not rush him.
Do not sit in judgment of him.
Just keep working on it but remember when i say working on it I mean that the "lessons" are only to last no longer than thirty to sixty seconds then take a break of at  least 10 minutes

Do it the in the morning at  the breakfast table.
Do it in the car.
Do it at the movies.
Do it during television-during every single commercial
Hang it up all over the house
Hang it on trees in the backyard
paste it on the bathroom mirror
paste it on the toilet seat

Ultimately when you show him the letter it
you say what is this
his answer must be it
nothing else-just it


you say:   what is this?  
He says: it
If he gets it wrong just say no this is the letter it


Once he gets these cards we need to add different fonts.  This is because while a regular learner might be able to see that a letter in a different font is still the same letter many of these kids cannot.  So we learn it in different fonts

Now make some cards in the font verdana because that is what they use on many websites.

Also make them in times roman because that is the way books are written
