    • This activity can be completed independently, in pairs, or in small groups with the assistance of an educator.
    • Place magnetic letters in a large bin and place it on the floor.
    • Next, children can use fishing poles (wooden dowels with a string and magnet attached) to “fish” for letters.
    • Then, students can name each letter they reel in and practice the letter sound. 
    • To extend this activity for students who already know their letters, try inviting them to fish for sight words.

We are the Play Learning Lab, run by Dr. Angela Pyle at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto.
