Developmentally appropriate literacy centers for the preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten classroom! This resource is perfect for all developmental and cognitive levels of early childhood. The centers are fun, engaging, and offer challenges and reinforcement of basic skills.
This resource is set up with 3 levels of developmentally appropriate Beginning Sounds and Letter centers for the early childhood classroom. Every class is different, every student is different, so this resource gives you the option of starting out slowly, building on what your students know, and offering a challenge as skills are mastered.
Level 1: Letter & Sound Match
This beginning level will allow students to use their knowledge of upper and lowercase letters to assist them in completing the center beginning sound picture. This will help you to introduce and emphasize the beginning sound of each letter.
Level 2: Letters & Sounds 2-Part Puzzles
This center activity builds on the level 1 activity. Each self-correcting puzzle has a lowercase letter on one part of the puzzle and 3 beginning sounds pictures on the connecting piece. There are 2 ways to work this center…find the beginning sounds pictures to match the letter, or find the letter to match the beginning sounds pictures on the larger piece.
Level 3: Letter Sounds: 5-Part Puzzles
This activity builds on the first two, but adds the element of finding MORE beginning sounds pictures for each letter. Each puzzle is the same, so the students need to find all of the correct beginning sounds pieces to complete the puzzle. This can be a real challenge, because the puzzles don’t self-correct. There needs to be guidance and confidence in letters and sounds to complete this center successfully.
