My daughter si 4 going to be 5 in Feb. She struggled too. One thing that we did was split the ABC's up... one week I would write A B C D E F G. Keep it simple, don't do too many at a time. I did 7 letters because that is how many days in the week there are. Keep going in groups of 7 or less until she goes from start to finish. The really cool thing about a kid that has a slower learning style is to remeber it is probably how the child is being taught versus how her brain wants to let her learn. Another great activity with the ABC that you can coincide with the writing is letter sounds and recognition of what starts with what. Make cards with the first letters and go over there sounds... constintly ask her what does the letter A sound like and so on. Then at the end of the week, review with her and ask her how many words she can think of that make the a sound at the begining, apple, ape, so on and so forth. So then you can tie the letters together... An ape ate a big banana and chewed dang near everything for fun and giggles. have her find the A words, B words, C words, D and F words. this lets her know what they lok like, and you can say wow! That goes A B C D E F G just like the ABC's! Make her believe that SHE did it by saying, I don't know how you did that in that order but your very smart and you did a great job! Also at the end of the week, you write out the letters on one paper, and then she can copy you on another and tack it on the fridge at her level so she can reciete what she has learned over and over. That girl will be blocking your way in the kitchen in no time! Then she will be singing the ABC song ALL the time... lol Have fun with her and good luck!

If you write out the alphabet on a long piece of paper (so that all the letters are on one line), have her fingers take a walk down the alphabet and see what letter she comes to first.

I am 35 years old and I have a hard time with the "before" letters also! And I got a 1380 on my SATs 18 years ago!! Don't worry about it. I have a hard time visualizing in my head as well. :-}

How old is your granddaughter? It's possible that she could be dislexic. Example: not knowing that R comes before S and T comes after S is a sign of being dislexic. Depending on her age you might have here tested.

How old is she. If she is in the 3rd grade I would worry about it, but if she is in kindergarden and below. Hey give the kid a break. We all don't have to be a brain at 5.
