Hello friends!! I hope y’all are having a
fabulous fall! Today our little family planned to visit the pumpkin patch and
of course it decided to thunderstorm! L
So we are going to have to just have some fun inside! (I have a toddler, pray
for me!) Haha!
Today I’d like to share my dollar deal with
you: “MY ABC BOOK”. This little booklet is something I created to use with my
nephew Hank who was learning his alphabet. I am not a big fan of worksheets nor
am I an advocate for teaching letters in isolation, HOWEVER it is important for
kids to know letter formation and to review often.
So I created the “My ABC Book”. This book
was created to use as a quick, engaging review. Before we began
our lesson for the day we would use dot markers or tear paper to fill in the
letter were reviewing and Hank would trace the letter above and color in the
visual cue.
We also had a review page where he circled
the pictures that began with that letter and then found the capital and
lowercase versions of the letter. This was my favorite part because it forces kids to visually discriminate between letters.
You can also choose to have kids color in the
pictures that begin with the letter you are reviewing if you want the activity
to take more time. Because I’m not a huge seatwork person I tried to make this
part quick and to the point.
We kept our pages in a folder and colored
the cover page. The cover page was taped onto the outside of the folder and the
practice sheets were placed inside. When kids complete each letter they can
take it home for review.
There you go, easy peasy and fun alphabet review
that doesn’t take a big chunk of time. This activity can be done in small group
for struggling kinder kids or in pre-K as a whole group activity or a center
activity, really whatever your kids need!
This book will be on sale for only $1
(wowza!) for the next three days: October 11, 12 and 13th. Click here to see it on TPT. If you need some other purchases to get up to $3 I have several alphabet review packets you can pick from. Happy
teaching friends!!
