Letter / Sound Hunt

Here's an easy activity you can do anywhere anytime. We often do this at Snack Time after learning a new letter, during guided reading groups, during Morning Meeting, when lining up to go somewhere, a quick time filler, or on the bus for field trips. It's easy! Ask your kiddo if they can find the letter ___ or 'I spy the letter ___ .' Then, see if they can find it. You can change this activity in many ways...

• Have them find letters based on a description - round, straight, 1 bump, curvy, etc. Then ask them to name that letter.
• Say a sound instead of a letter name.
• Have your kiddo find a word that starts, includes, or ends with that letter.
• Play this game after reading a story - have them find as many of the letters as they can in the book you or they just read.
• Cut out or highlight the letters in newspapers or fliers.
• This activity can be modified for Math by saying...
• I spy something that shows this many (show with fingers or make sounds)
