2nd 9 Weeks - Week 6


ELA Model: Week 6
Shared Reading
Reading Domain:

  • II.C.1 Alphabet Knowledge Skills
    • Child names at least 20 upper and at least 20 lower case letters (10 upper and 10 lower)
  • III.C.2 Alphabet Knowlege Skills
    • Child recognizes at least 20 letter sounds (10 sounds)
Activities:
  • Make your own flashcards. Print or draw letters that the student can color, cut out and glue to an index card. Have the student add a drawing or magazine cut out of an object that corresponds to the letter.
  • Have students explore with alphabet puzzles, stickers, stamps, magnets or foam alphabet letters. Hide the letters in sand or rice. Have the student pull a letter, say its name and sound, and match it with the corresponding alphabet flash card.
  • Go fishing! Tie a piece of yarn or string to the end of a dowel rod or ruler. Attach a magnet to the other end. Have the student fish for toys and match them to the alphabet card with the same beginning sound.
  • Have the student form the shapes of different letters with his body, food (such as pretzel sticks), or play dough. Playing with play dough is not only our favorite preschool alphabet activity, it also helps develop the fine motor skills necessary for preschool writing.
  • Have the student trace felt or sandpaper letters with his/her finger, or write the letters in rice, sand, shaving cream, finger paint or pudding. This preschool alphabet activity is great for kinesthetic learners.
  • Play preschool educational games, like bingo, I spy or memory. Or play simple word games. Have student name something starts with the same letter as something you name. Or name a word that begins with A, have the student name a word that begins with B, and so on.
