Alphabet Warm-Up

At the beginning of class we will often start with a warm-up activity that gets our brains ready to think about reading. During an alphabet warm-up I will point to each letter of the alphabet in random order. During the first round we will simply identify the letter. Then, we will transition to producing letter sounds as the letter is pointed to. Lastly, we will challenge ourselves to think of words with the same beginning sound as a specific letter. We pretend that we no longer want the visual representation that is on the alphabet strip and think of new pictures it could be replaced by. Watch us in action below.
