Samara turns to Nelly(4.3yrs), who is already at the table, and says “My name starts with ‘S’, see esssssssss” she draws a large ‘s’ on her page with her left hand. “What letter does your name start with?” she asks Nelly. “I don’t know, ummmm N?” Nelly replies. “nnnnnnnnelly” Samara sounds out “yes, that sounds right, ‘N’. “Is that right Miss Tiffany?’ she questions the educator. “yes, that’s correct, great understanding and working as a team with Nelly Samara!’ the educator promotes.

Samara smiles and looks at Nelly, who smiles back, they both continue to slowly write the rest of their names on the paper (with the support of the educator at times).
