Letter Sound Chart for Literacy Fun
There are so many ways you can use this letter sound chart. I have been using it with Adriana since she was 2 years of age, when I created it to support her letter recognition and letter sound identification. These are a few of the items we have been using with our chart as we practice our letters.
Place the mat in front of the child and provide the loose parts I use the wooden mini cubes and a few other items (i.e., pebbles, rocks, pompoms, wooden rounds or shapes of any kind). Ask your child to find a letter use its name (e.x., find the letter a, it makes the a, a, a sound). They will choose a loose part and place it on the letter sound chart letter. If they make a mistake try not to say "no, this is wrong, that's not right", encourage them and say, "let's try that again, listen to the letter name and sound, can you find....".
We also use this mat as a way to practice writing our letters in the sand or in coloured salt (check out our instagram posts for recipes and instructions). You child can use it as a visual and then try to imitate its shape and write it out in sand, salt, rice, really anything in a bin using their finger or a brush.
Another way to use this, is providing them with wooden letters or plastic alphabet beads in a small container and having them match the letters to the letter sound chart. Using this activity sheet for letter recognition and letter sound identification is a great way to practice those letters even when they already know them. Keep practicing letter sounds to help with reading and spelling. I also provide this sheet to my students as they are writing. It allows them to refer to the sheet when they forget how a letter is formed when writing. It also helps them recall letter sounds as they write and review their work.
I hope you enjoy this FREEBIE!
Happy Learning,
