Music
Then take a break and sing some songs, either using YouTube for assistance (you can use my Videos page for assistance for this) or sing them together as you do party of your families daily routine (chores, etc). Most of these videos would be better viewed for audio, rather than visual, as it will be easy for your child to become preoccupied with the animations.
Alphabet/Writing Lesson
Review the letters W, U, K, L, R, and E
Do Alphabet Book 2 - pgs. 55-57
Throughout the day and week, always talk about words that begin with these beginning sounds. It will help reinforce the sound with your child.
Play Letter Memory
Make your own Memory cards by cutting index cards in half. Make a card for each letter (both the uppercase and lowercase should be separate). Color code them so that each set is the same color. Shuffle the cards and place flat on a table in organized rows. Students turn over two cards per turn. Finding corresponding upper and lowercase letters is a match.
