The BIG Book of Alphabet Activities : PreK–K PDF download
the alphabet is one of the most important things for children to learn-knowledge To leters and their sounds is key to learning to read and write.
Young children need practice with recognizing both uppercase and lowercase letters, identifying and writing those letters, and understanding letter-sound associations.
When you provide children practice with these skills, you help open the door to literacy!
In his book Phonics From A to Z (Scholastic, 2006, revised), reading specialist Wiley Blevins notes that the two best predictors of early reading success are alphabet recognition and phonemic awareness (Adams, 1990; Stanovich, 1992; Chall, 1996; Beck and Juel, 1995; Share, Jorm, Maclean, and Matthews, 1984).
These two skills-knowing the letters and the sounds they represent and being able to identify these sounds with automaticity-are essential for early reading development.
The BIG Book of Alphabet Activities is a resource full of ideas to help you incorporate alphabet recognition and practice in letter-sound associations into your entire school day, so that children get maximum exposure to these skills.
The units—one for each letter of the alphabet-can be used in alphabetical order or any sequence that meets the needs of your class. Activities include practice and reinforcement in recognizing and identifying letters, forming and writing the uppercase and lowercase versions of letters, and making the connection between letters and their sounds. The easy-to-implement ideas motivate children of all learning styles and can be used during center time, math time, story time, snack time, or anytime to help build letter knowledge and meet important language arts standards. (See Meeting the Language Arts Standards, page 8.) In addition, reproducible patterns are provided to help make your planning and prep work easier.
