After spending too much time finding an alphabet chart that would work, I found this adorable alphabet center. The pockets are great because you can also put in objects you find around the house that start with the letter.
When looking for an alphabet chart, check it for the following things:
•The letters are making the most common sound. For example, the letter G could be a garlic or goat, not a giraffe.
•Watch for vowel sounds; it’s okay if there are two pictures. For example, if there is an ice cream and an iguana for the letter I, that’s fine, but not if there is just ice cream. You want to teach the short vowel sound first.
•Find an alphabet chart where you can easily pull out the sounds. When you say elephant, you hear /el/ instead of /e/. Using a picture of an egg would be a more accessible word to pull out the /e/ sound.
I’m so excited to start Storytime with Sarah. Register for Storytime with Sarah on Tuesdays at 10:30 am starting February 6th at the Crossroads in Gilbertsville. We will learn all about the alphabet, and I can share more ideas for you to practice letters at home.
