I remember being a 4-year-old and putting value on letters I liked vs. the ones I didn’t, vs. the ones that were just mid.

a, b, c, d, e, m, q, s, w - favourite letters

g, h, i, j, o, p, t, u, v, x, y, z - neutral/mid. letters

f, k, l, n, r - disliked letters

As I remember it. I was one imaginative four-year-old.

Ha, this randomly reminded me of a time in Y6, as a lunchtime detention thing someone with whom J had scrapped and I had to write a nice note to each each...
Me: I can help you with any letters you don't know.
Him: (proudly) I know all the letters, actually!
