Usually, the first letter of his own name is what he identifies first. "N for Natalie! M for Mom! D for Dad!". Once those sounds are learned, he can make connections to other words that start with those same sounds. "Hey nose starts with N just like Natalie starts with N!"

For those reasons (and also that it is a cool decoration) I've always had my children's names displayed in a creative way in their bedroom. They can see the letters of their name daily, we use them to sing our name song, and it also makes their room a special place of their own.
An easy way to display your child's name is with a vinyl decal. I got mine (above) from Signs.com where you can even upload custom designs or have their designers help you for FREE! So cool!
She loves that her N has a crown! She is really into princesses right now so it grabs her attention.

I would write my girls' names on any art that they did for me and spell it out loud as I did it. When Heather was about 3 years old, she was out with her grandparents. My mom called and said, "Did you know Heather can spell her name?" I had no idea because she had never done it for me but she did it for her grandmother.
