Brainstorm in Bloom

Where Mommas and Kiddos stay happy one Project at a time!

Alphabet Wall


The ALPHABET...
Learning the alphabet (letter names) is great for pre-reading! When I teach the alphabet I teach the letter names as well as the sounds (some letters of course have more than one sound). I also teach the uppercase and lowercase letter (although my kiddos have all preferred to write the uppercase letters first).

When I say teach I mean guide the activities that I have outlined below - it isn't something that needs a degree or a classroom. I believe all parents are teachers (you teach them how to eat, get dressed, potty train etc. so yep, you're a teacher)! As you are teaching the alphabet just let your kiddo be the guide - choose activities/crafts that they might like or have fun with (you don't have to do them all), grab the supplies and have fun! 


For each letter I have given ideas for an alphabet wall letter, books, arts/crafts, activities, letter formation, music & movement and a snack! You can click on the links below for each letter to see what we did and you can use this alphabet chart (I am a chart girl) as a reference! 

Enjoy,
Sara
