As your students are becoming more confident with the letter sounds of the alphabet it is a good idea to gradually go back through them and regularly review them. Check to see students can say the letter name, letter sound and write with correct formation.
In the minutes between lessons and over transitions you have time for a fast, no-prep letter brain break!
We have a set of prompt sticks that can be used to help you focus students and add engagement.
Once you have prepared the set of alphabet sticks, pop them in a little container and let a student choose one. Combine it with one of the 12 suggested mini activities or think of one on your own!
The 12 suggested activities are, fast and easy to prep:
- air write the focus letter
- palm write the focus letter
- surface write the focus letter
- rainbow write
- brainstorm a list of words with the class
- brainstorm names of people
- brainstorm animals
- say the alphabet and stop at the letter
- draw a picture of something that begins with the letter
- make the shape of the letter with classroom equipment
- find something in the classroom that begins with the letter
- turn and talk with a friend and think of words with the letter
