Letter Spotting

Here's an easy idea you can try out for your little preschoolers. This can also work on a bigger scale, by having your kids spot their spelling words in books.

For the youngers, I gave them a stack of simple books (like in this picture, we were using "Fox in Socks") and had them find and point to their letter of the week.

 

That kept them thinking and searching for a good amount of time! Plus it was helping them learn how to recognize the letter of the week, getting it more stuck in their heads. Each time they pointed to one, I had them say the sound of  that letter.

 

I think this really helped!
