Why Matching Comes Before Writing
Matching asks a child only to recognise, not to produce — which is the easier half of knowing something, and the half that develops first. A child who can point to the cow when you say "moo" is demonstrating real understanding well before they can write either word. Games like these are worth more at this age than any worksheet, because recognition is where the learning actually starts.
