Alphabet Activities for Preschoolers

My newest alphabet pack is ready and it is perfect for three to four year olds who are just starting to explore the abstract world of letters. 

The pack has alphabet posters which are fantastic for a visual stimulus. Just hang them in your classrooms or put them in a binder for little ones to look at. 

In this pack, the focus is on uppercase letters for the simple reason that they are easy to form. I am totally on the side of educators who feel that stress should be laid on lowercase letters because that's what children see most in print when reading but if your child is learning letters for the first time, capital letters makes sense. The little fingers need to first learn to form their straight lines and slanting lines before moving on to curves.

The pack  has simple writing sheets which your kids will enjoy doing as the space is not limited.

And for that phonological awareness skill, there are rhymes for each letter. Just print and sing! You could ask children to listen for rhyming words or if they are ready, words beginning with a particular letter.

Back To School-The Complete Alphabet Resource

 I am really excited to share my alphabet pack that is perfect to use with kindergarten kids. It sure took a lot of time and hard work to create this pack but it was well worth all the efforts. So what is there in this pack?

Alphabet posters: Use these posters to point at the pictures and say the name of the pictures by stressing on the first sound. Point at the symbol of the letter and stress on the name followed by the sound of the letter. Read all the other words and brainstorm new words with the children.

 

Letter Story: Read the story and focus on words beginning with the letter being taught. Ask the children to name the words. Let them turn into little detectives and circle the letters.

Coloring Sheets: Let children name the pictures and color the letters.

Letter Art: Allow children to get creative with these pages. Provide them with the suggested materials and let them turn the letters into beautiful pieces of art.

Handwriting Pages: Children can use these pages to practice tracing uppercase and lowercase letters.

Uppercase and Lowercase Identification: Children can sort uppercase and lowercase letters through different activities.     

Beginning Sounds: Children will get an opportunity to put their learning into practice with these beginning sound sheets. There are various activities in which children can tell the names of things that begins with each letter.

Review Sheets: Use the review pages to assess the knowledge of sounds.

Alphabet Puzzles: 26 letter puzzles which will enhance the problem solving skills of children. Cut them apart and allow children to put the pieces together.

The kids really had a blast doing these activities. 

Of course we didn't just work with these. I use different approaches and various activities when introducing a letter. But this pack proved to be extremely handy as it reinforced a lot of different skills like identification of letter names(uppercase and lowercase), letter sounds, beginning handwriting, fine motor skills and vocabulary.

Back to School-Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Alphabet Cards

Get ready to go back to school, by getting this easy to prep ALPHABET CARDS based on the popular book by Bill Martin Jr.- "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom." 

With so much happening at this time of the year, I feel teachers need all the help to get organized. Planning fun activities for the first few weeks is always my top agenda during this time and these alphabet cards and activities surely come handy.

I can use these cards to quickly assess letter identification and the knowledge of sounds. I would either put them in my literacy center or lay them out for morning work. Children can match uppercase and lowercase letters by using a clothespin.

Of course i read the book first and do many activities around it before i use these cards.

You can use it to practice names of children.It makes for a great bulletin board display too.

Or you could make coconut tree models.

Or simply let the child color a coconut tree and add letters he/she can recognize.

Stories are a great medium to teach kids a lot of concepts in the beginning of school year like class rules, name identification, making friends etc. 

I also have a great product with activities for all the popular books, teachers use during this time of the year.

Grab it from HERE!

I will soon be posting alphabet packs comprising of posters, activities for beginning sounds, alphabet stories, puzzles and songs which you can use for the entire year. Do come back to check them out.

Summer break is a great time to unwind and relax, to catch up with family and friends,  to go on a holiday and basically just chill(ie if you can in the hot weather).
