Have children fill in the missing initial letter/sound in the word. • Create a letter web. Have children write or glue pictures of words beginning with a selected letter of the alphabet in a web. Example: • Group pictures of words that begin with the same letter (e.g., bat, ball, and boy). • Have children create their own alphabet books. • Cover tables/desks in cling wrap. Have students use shaving cream to trace upper and lower case letter shapes in the cream. Children can smooth out the cream, and write new letters. Also, have students say the letter’s sound as they do this task. • Create a word wall. Have children tell you words that begin with each letter/ sound of the alphabet. Write the words on note cards, and tape them to the word wall under the appropriate letter. • Go for a “Sound Search.” Have children go for a search around their classroom for objects that begin with the sound of a certain letter. Record what the children find on the board. You can make this activity more exciting by putting the letters of the alphabet in a grab bag. Children reach in the grab bag and pull out a letter to begin their search. • Go through books and have children listen/watch for words that begin with a particular letter of the alphabet. • Put on a Show and Tell for alphabet letters. Have children bring something with them to class that begins with a particular letter of the alphabet. • Count down the first 26 days of school with an alphabet countdown. Select one letter of the alphabet each day (starting with A and going to Z). Focus all reading books, play activites, snacks, etc., around that letter. For example, “Hh” day may include eating hot dogs for lunch and playing Hide-and-Go-Seek at recess. After you have completed each letter of the alphabet, have an Alphabet Celebration. ant apple ape axe Aa #BK-331 Fold and Say® A to Z and More Mini-Books • © 2006 Super Duper® Publications • 1-800-277-8737 • www.superduperinc.com 3 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications #BK-331 Fold and Say® A to Z and More Mini-Books • © 2006 Super Duper® Publications • 1-800-277-8737 • www.superduperinc.com 4 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications ©2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 1-800-277-8737 • www.superduperinc.com My Mini-Book by 21 3 7 © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 4 © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 5 © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 6 actor Aa is for alligator ant apple axe © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 1-800-277-8737 • www.superduperinc.com My Mini-Book by 21 3 7 © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 4 © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 5 © 2006 Super Duper® Publications 6 acorn Aa is for aim angel ape apron [...]...
