Here are some resources from Jolly Phonics (letters of the alphabet). The photo is to offer your child a visual reminder for the letter sound. There are also worksheets that we would complete in the classroom for each letter ( as we learn them). For those who may have a printer at home, feel free to use these to replace making the boxes with smiley faces when practicing printing our new letters!
In the packet that was sent home before the holidays I also included a sheet with the correct French sound for each letter for you to help your child if need be. Take time to review the letters and letter sounds.
So far this school year, we have worked on letters:
Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ff, Gg, Hh
However, feel free to practice the others as well.
Today is Family Literacy Day, perhaps using your favorite book you could go on a letter hunt for the letter Kk. How many can you find? Can you find upper case and lowercase?
Practice making the letter Kk with sensory items- playdoh, rice, water, sand, popsicle sticks, rocks, etc.
