Reading the Alphabet OT Word Family Activities
Disclaimer: NJoy doesn’t always want to do every single printable and I’ve finally come to a place where I’m fine with that. He’s only 4 and has a lot of school in front of him. We do what we can and I let the rest go. Honestly, it’s the only way I’ve survived this past week. Can anyone relate??
Here are some snap shots of the schoolwork that he DID do:
I pulled out our Crayola Window Markers. I taped the review sight words onto the sliding glass door and he wrote them all down.
Once he was finished, he said, “Mama, how do you spell ‘No more letters’?” And before I could answer, he was sounding out each word and writing down the sounds he heard.
I jumped in after the L and tried to help him hear more sounds. I was quite impressed with his “sentence”. He must have played at that sliding glass door for at least 30 minutes after we “finished” this lesson.
MBug {currently 2.5 years old} enjoyed her ABC puzzle while he worked.
He also found all of the words in his search puzzle. {Wait until you see next week’s update to these searches. I’m excited about it, as NJoy has told me several times in the past couple of weeks that these are just too easy.}
The emergent reader is called “Dots” and we used do-a-dot paint to finish the pictures. There are four different ways this book is formatted in the download, so you can pick which one you like best. The book reviews all of the sight words from Lessons 15-19 plus it has several OT words in it.
I changed up the Roll a Letter activity into Roll an OT word this time around and he enjoyed this.
I also created the OT Word Puzzles (love the red marker hands),
but once I realized that I wanted to review the AT and IG family words without any hints or helps, I created this version {seen in picture above} to save on ink and paper. This one is similar in fashion to the CVC one I just created for the BOB Books.
His favorite activity of the week BY FAR was the Roll-a-Rhyme “game”. He kept score on our dry erase board. If you rolled a rhyme, you got a point and a chance to go again. He and big brother played this game later in the day. Totally hilarious to watch, by the way!

Thank you soooooo much for doing all of these! This is a lot of time and energy and it is so generous of you to give it away for free. We are a homeschooling family of 6 and we are in a very lean financial season right now, and our 5 year old is ready to read! So thank you for blessing us! These are terrific!!!
Oh, you are sooooo welcome! I’m so thankful to be used by God to help and bless others. 😉
Wonderful, as always! I am always impressed with your lessons, explanations, and insight into learning.
Thank you, Carolyn! And you’re so encouraging, as always. 🙂
Please tell me how you made the large dice (red & green ones) for the Roll A Letter activity?! (Maybe I missed it in a previous post.) Thank you for ALL of the wonderfulness on your site!! 🙂
I didn’t make them. They are cubes for photograph inserts, also known as education cubes. I got mine on amazon, but Mama Jenn of http://www.educationcubes.com also sells them.
I love your plans! Thanks for posting! Do you know of specific books I could check out from the library (or purchase) that would reinforce the patterns learned in all these wonderful lessons?
