With Abby off at school, it is a chance to work on learning more with Kenzie. She knows all her letters, and we have been working on mastering her sounds. We’ll be doing the activity I’m showing you today with every letter of the alphabet. You may have seen my tutorial on sewing a reversible bag. Today I decided to put the bag to use. I had some punch out letters and attached them to the bag with tape so it would just be a temporary addition.
Next, we wandered around the house looking for A words to put in our bag. We found an apple, alligator, ambulance, airplane, apron. As we walked around, we kept on making the two A sounds.
We took our bag to the chalkboard, emptied it out and wrote down all of our words. Then, I had Kenzie locate and trace the A’s in the words. Finally, she was able to write the letter A on her own. In case you are wondering, she is 3 1/2. It is a great preschool or kindergarten activity.
What a great way to help them learn there sounds yet having fun doing it! My oldest just started Kindergarten but I am going to do this with her anyway. Her teacher lets me know each week what letters they focus on and I think we will do a bag each week! Thank you so much for sharing and I would love it if you would share at our Made by or for kids linky http://wemadethat.blogspot.com/2012/09/we-made-that-linky-4.html
