My Sam has just turned 5 and is curious about the alphabet and letters. After a big day painting and playing in the yard (hello dirty hands from the dirt pit) we did our first little home lesson and learned all about the letter 's' and the sound it makes - sssssssssssssss!
We started with a few 's' themed stories and had a chat about hearing the sound in words.
We are not ready for too much formal writing, so did some 'rainbow writing' to get a feel for the shape and a connection established with the written symbol.
We made an 's' with dough and a little book to start becoming familiar with some early reading skills!
The resources we used are in my 'Let's Learn S' packet:
And here is a little freebie to add to your alphabet resources: Letter S Page
Thanks a bunch for stopping by my blog today, see you soon!
