By thisreadingmama 6 Comments

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:

FREE Emergent Reader A Book-Color
Letter Aa Book– student book, available in color and in black and white

Letter A Pocket Chart Reader

Letter A Color Pocket Chart CardsLetter 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:

preschool word mazeSight Word Maze for the word at

at poke pageat Poke Page– I recently purchased some over-sized push pins.  They were a HUGE hit!

Phonological Awareness Activities, such as:

counting syllables with letter A wordsSyllable Count and Clip-count syllables and clip the number

ACutandPasteRhyme

Cut and Paste a Rhyme- (for words that rhyme with AX)

 

Letter A Book/Print Awareness Skills, such as:

Apple Print Awareness activity

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

A is for Apple Tracing Page

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 Game with Letter A 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.

Numbers 1-20, letter AApple 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.

A is for Apple Color by NumberThis 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.

    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.
