While learning the letters and sounds, your child should also learn how to write each letter. Writing in shaving cream is a great way to practice. This lesson is perfect for all types of learners because it includes visual, auditory and tactile-kinesthetic experiences.
Forest Fun – Lesson 8
“I can write letters t, b, c, and m.”
Objective: To write letters t, b, c, and m using correct letter formation and to identify the sounds. (L.K.2)
Materials: shaving cream, letter cards (t, b, c, m)
Procedures: Spread a layer of shaving cream on the table top or a large tray. Hold up the letter c card. Your child will use his index finger to form the letter c in the shaving cream while reciting, “c says /c/, c says /c/.” Your child will “erase” the c and continue the activity with different letters. Guide your child if necessary to be sure he is forming the letters with the correct strokes.
Conclusion: Your child will name the four letters and sounds again.
