What is one activity a child might do to demonstrate recognition of print?

Writing letters followed by mock letters provides a clear demonstration of a child's recognition of print. This activity involves children engaging with the symbols of written language, which is foundational in recognizing that letters and written words represent sounds and ideas. By attempting to write letters, even if they are not correctly formed or phonetic, children are actively practicing their understanding of print and its components.

In contrast, participating in storytelling primarily involves listening and oral skills rather than print recognition. Role-playing scenarios focus more on social interaction and imagination than on writing or reading print. Drawing pictures, while expressive and creative, does not directly engage with the recognition of letters or written words, which is crucial for understanding print.
