You can make this experience magical for your kids, by getting them to move and “experience” the letters. Kids love to move around and explore their surroundings. You can capitalize on this and have them explore letter attributes in the same way!
I have used a variety of storage options, but in the end, my favorite is the alphabet pocket chart. It makes it very easy for students to sort letters and to clean up!!!
This activity goes perfectly with the “Letter Line Up” extension worksheets. You can get a free sample here. I set up my letters on the floor to match the letters on the worksheet. Students can do the activity moving around with the letters and then complete the extension worksheet. They can use the letters on the floor to check their answers.
There are differentiated options to the “Letter Line Up” extension worksheets. Students can trace the missing letters (there are different amounts of letters missing), fill in missing letters (different amounts of letters missing), and a blank worksheet where students fill in all the letters. There are worksheets for both upper and lowercase letters.
You can also use the boots (homemade “Stomp It” boots or lip gloss boots) to use on the extension worksheets. Students need to “Stomp It”, “Stamp It”, “Trace It”, “Write It”, “Dab It’, and “Color It”. They are interacting with the letter in a variety of ways.
