Activity Sheets |
Skills taught in each worksheet include the following:
Letter Name Tracing the letters using a crayon in the activities above provides the repetition necessary to begin the letter memorization process. |
Letter
Writing Hollow letters are used on the worksheets to provide a good visual imprint and guide proper letter formation. |
Colors Answers to all questions are designated by coloring the appropriate letter with a colored crayon or pencil. For example - "Color the "b" under the bees wing - red." |
Phonics -
Phonemic Awareness Memorization of the letter sound is enhanced by association with the "Memorable Character" for each letter. The final section of the worksheet shows 5 pictures and asks the child if the picture begins with the sound of the worksheet letter. Ex. - Does "ball" begin with the "buh" sound? The child then circles the word "yes" or "no" directly below the picture. |
