Reading the Alphabet Letter D

In Lesson 8, the focus is the letter D and the sight word my. 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.

Letter D includes reading activities, such as:

Letter Dd Book– student book, available in color and in black and white (reading with our witch fingers)

Letter Dd Pocket Chart Version (to use with colored or black & white pictures). Construct the Letter Dd 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 Search for the word my

 

my Poke Page– I’m amazed at how serious he gets over these!

Phonological Awareness Activities, such as:

Syllable Count and Clip-count syllables and clip the number

Sorting Picture Cards in Pocket Chart (I used picture cards from previous lessons)

Letter D Book/Print Awareness Skills, such as:

Donut Print Awareness- This was, by far, the biggest hit of the week!

Draw a donut, put on the glue, then sprinkle on the sprinkles…as many as you want.  Eat a few in the process.

Glue down the sentence to match the picture.

D is for Direction- As we read, and did our print awareness activities, I reviewed where we start reading (left) and the direction in which we move; including the return sweep to the next row.

Letter D Handwriting

These tracer pages, made by Carisa, are awesome!

Letter D Math Games, such as:

20-Grid– He used our dog stamp to stamp as he rolled the dice.  I originally saw this grid idea at Pre-Kinders.

D Cut and Pattern-

Cut out the d cards…

and create patterns with them. (He’s gotten really good at making patterns, I’ve had to start making it really tricky.  This one did throw him for a loop.)
