Reading the Alphabet Letter Z Activities
Lesson 18 reviews the letter Z and its sound while teaching the sight word not. These are only a few snapshots of our week. To see how we split up our week, please see the 5-day Lesson Outline, included in the free download.
This week, NJoy really began to try many of the activities independently. I was quite shocked that he did most of them correctly! 🙂 I feel that having a routine and a predictable set of activities really does help with that.
He found the rhyming words and glued them down by himself. I only got a shot when he was finished! 🙂
He still enjoyed his letter sound sorting activity and told me that he was going to “graph” his letters this week; hence the reason why they’re stacked on TOP of each letter. He also put the picture cards in the den and ran back and forth to graph this.
He had his tiger help him with the syllable count and clip, only missing one when it was all said and done. Yay!
We did go through the emergent reader together and circle his new word. After the first couple of pages, he didn’t want my help anymore.
He now only wants me to print off the black and white versions of each reader for him. HE wants to color it in, which is nice because he sits quietly and colors for some time.
His Handwriting Notebook is still a big hit. He enjoys seeing the new pages I insert, like this Zebra Tracer Page.
Sometimes, routine can become rut, so we changed up a few of his activities this week to keep them interesting.
We used jewels to find and cover the word not in his sight word search. That was a huge success. It’s amazing how changing one thing can make such a big difference.
He also tried rainbow writing for the first time {instead of using this activity as a poke page} and quite enjoyed it.

Thank you sooooo much for sharing these wonderful resources. I began using the emergent readers and pocket chart mid year with my Pre-Kinders. I love these as they reinforce many differents skills for the various levels of my students. Thanks again! 🙂
