Initial sounds for Prep

Submitted by Tina DeCastro (10-10-2012)

« Back to Alphabet/Phonics

Have a box full of things that start with the letter or sound you are doing.

Decorate the letter with something that the sound may start with e.g S can be decorated with spaghetti or stickers.

Each week a child takes a big book home and has to find pictures on that sound for the week.

Have an interest table students can add to.

Be sound detectives and students draw things around them with that sound. Eg. F for fan, foam, fish,


Play hop scotch with sight words and alphabet letters.

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
