It’s time for Reading the Alphabet Letter A! Read even more about my preschool reading curriculum, Reading the Alphabet.
*Keep scrolling until the end of this post to grab the free version of Reading the Alphabet Letter A.
You can purchase our Reading the Alphabet Bundle Pack, stream-lined for easy downloading! It also features bonus material that you can’t find in this free version!
Reading the Alphabet Letter A
In Lesson 6, the focus is the letter a (it’s short a sound) and the sight word at. If you want to see all of the activities included for each section an activity in more detail, you can go to Lesson 1; in which I explicitly show how to implement these activities.
Reading Letter A includes reading activities, such as:
Letter Aa Book– student book, available in color and in black and white
Letter Aa Pocket Chart Version (to use with colored or black & white pictures). Construct the Letter Aa Book in a pocket chart word by word. Then, point and read along…great for concepts of print!
Sight Word Activities, such as:
Sight Word Maze for the word at
at Poke Page– I recently purchased some over-sized push pins. They were a HUGE hit!
Phonological Awareness Activities, such as:
Syllable Count and Clip-count syllables and clip the number
Cut and Paste a Rhyme- (for words that rhyme with AX)
Letter A Book/Print Awareness Skills, such as:
Apple Print Awareness
A is for Author– when I read books aloud to him this week, I would point out the author and I repeatedly said, “The author is the person who wrote the story.”
Letter A Handwriting
Love the grip on the marker! How about you?? I tell you what, he really struggles with this!
Letter A Math Games, such as:
20-Grid…we placed alphabet foam stickers on the grid, but any small manipulative (especially starting with letter a) could also work. I originally saw this grid idea at Pre-Kinders.
Apple Tree Numbers 10-20, while NJoy does numbers 10-20, MBug (27 months) does the 1-10 Apple Tree Number stamping, which is also on the download.
This week, I discovered a new website with some AMAZING and FREE printables! We used the A is for Apple color by number. This link is also included on the 5-day lesson plan.
All of the FREE activities original to This Reading Mama can be found by clicking below:
Enjoy teaching!

Becky, I’m also following you in Teachers Pay Teachers. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!! I find that some of these lessons on this site, the zip file is invalid, but on TpT, the zip files are ok.
Thank you again!! 🙂
Hi Becky. Went to the link for the A is for Apple color by number, but I could only find the lowercase color by number pages available. I really like the upper & lowercase color by number that you have pictured above with this Aa lesson. Is it possible to get the color by number pages with both the upper & lowercase letters? Thank you in advance. Lisa
I just purchased Reading the Alphabet because I really enjoyed the way your lessons are laid out but I don’t have a clue how to now use it as the letter of the week. What happened? Did you change the organization. I need each letter as a separate file! I’m so lost! Also there is a huge delay when typing responses. Thank you
I had to streamline the 1400+ file, so I included all the directions you need for each activity 1x in the 1st download. All the activities repeat themselves each week, so I didn’t feel it was necessary to re-type the same directions each time. Each lesson outline/plan still has the activities included that you can do each day, just not the redundant details.
I love your website! I am a stay at home mom of a 17 month old who is already progressing so well in her learning. I can’t wait to use these pre k curriculums. Thanks so much for sharing and using your God gift.
You’re so welcome! Thanks for stopping by to comment. 🙂
