Being a Zookeeper

During this lesson, your child will complete puzzles, play games, and sing a song as they practice: singing their ABC’s, identifying letters, and matching capital and lowercase letters.

A fun, themed lesson to work on alphabet skills. I like that you could pick any of the activities without necessarily doing them all. However, nearly every activity requires pre-planning which isn't ideal if you need something on quick notice. Also, the topic is fairly limited to need so much preparation time. Best case scenario would be to prepare this lesson with lamination for either multiple children to use or to have on hand in the future as younger children age into literacy skills.

Easter Alphabet Practice

The activities in this lesson can be used to help your child practice writing any letters of the alphabet using different tactical, visual, and motor skills. These activities can be repeated with different letters all throughout the year.

Let's Learn to Write the Alphabet

This lesson is all about providing students with activities that help them practice letters in the alphabet. They will learn how to recognize, pronounce and write these letters in a variety of interactive tasks.

Hands-on way to practice letter formation, and would fit in great to most Letter of the Week curricula. My kids are past this point, but when they were learning letters and sounds (with LOTW and then All About Reading) we would always throw in activities like this. If you have older students who have moved on vowel teams, blends, and digraphs, they can also practice those in this same way. Younger kids can use pudding or yogurt on a tray and finger paint while older siblings are practicing.

Alphabet Painting

In this lesson students use their creative skills to make their own 208-paged black/white and color alphabet booklet.

I really like that this lesson has some letter activities that are different from the usual and has more variety. I especially like the research and create activity because it really allows for some creativity from the child instead of just the rote memorization activities. This is a lesson that I would likely break up and do each letter separately. So, we would do this for 26 total days for about half an hour or up to maybe even an hour each day (depending mostly on how quickly my child would pick their pictures). Altogether, that would make this more like a 13-20 hour lesson. It seems most appropriate for Kindergarten or preschool ages. This lesson would be a 1 for us as my kids are older and don't really need this. However, I could see the possibility of using this for a few letters that my child has trouble writing as a way to help her engage the letter in some fun ways.

Valentine's Day Alphabet Practice

In today’s lesson, students get to engage in activities that help them to learn more about various occupations according to each of the letters in the alphabet.

Alphabet Occupations

This lesson works on recognition of letters of the alphabet, alphabetical order and phonemic awareness for children.

PreK-K
2-3 hours
This lesson is so fun and easy to execute. All of the printables are easy to access and work well with the activities. The videos are cute and engaging for this age group. I was able to find YouTube read alouds for several of the recommended books which is really convenient for anybody who can't find them at the library. I love the "act" activity, kids will love seeing their grownups being silly!

Animal Alphabet Phonics

This lesson is all about providing students with interactive games that get them using letters and sounds. They get to practice their pronunciation and spelling skills through several fun activities.

Alphabet Sounds

Children will be encouraged to take ownership of their learning as they dive into activities inspired by the letter Y. They will learn how to say “yes” in different languages, learn about why we yawn, select a yarn art project to create, learn how to prepare a yogurt parfait recipe, and much more!

Letter of the Day the Older Kid Way: Letter Y

During this lesson, your child will hear songs, play games, and create art as they learn about the “br” blend.

"Br" Blends

Young learners will enjoy this fun penguin-themed lesson that reviews skills such as: counting objects from 1-10, upper and lowercase letter matching, rhyming through a fun game. They will paint with frozen ice-paint and learn how to draw a penguin. The lesson also includes a link to the live Penguin Cam at the San Diego Zoo, so children can observe penguins in real-time!

Learning With Penguins

In this lesson, your child will learn all about ducks through reading and crafting, while practicing upper and lowercase letters, counting, and fine motor skills.

Duck Day

This lesson describes tricks and ways children can differentiate the letter “b” from “d” with hands-on activities and games.

This lesson was such a relief to find! I feel like we’re having this b and d frustration all the time and the “belly vs. diaper” trick just didn’t seem to be working with any kind of consistency. I love that this lesson gave us some new ideas for how to distinguish between the two—and that it did it in some fun, simple ways with which my daughter could connect. The tracing resource also had a link to another very helpful trick kids can use to remember these and, after a simple search of the website, I found a whole bunch of other ideas/worksheets as well (https://thisreadingmama.com/?s=letter+reversal). This lesson is ideal for K-2nd grade, but includes some helpful ideas for any kids who may be struggling with this concept.

B sees D

This lesson allows the children to interact with the Letter A so they can practice identifying the letter by sight and sound.
