KINDERGARTEN LITERACY

• Letter Scavenger hunt.  Print these cards (or make your own with scraps paper, index cards, post-it notes, whatever you have around the house)hide the letters in random places. Set a timer and search for the cards. Once the timer goes off, return to a commonplace and “read” the letters and say the sound the letter makes.
• Sound Search: Give or tell your child a letter, (use those cards from the scavenger hunt!) have them name the letter and the sound it makes. Then set a timer and search the house, yard, neighborhood (together of course) for objects that begin with that sound. For example Letter B - bread, basket, bowl, butter, bed. Repeat with different letters. Step it up by finding words with that letter at the end of the word. Example - letter T - cat, coat, toilet
