Letter Cards on Table

What Is This Letter?

Learning Goals: Literacy, Phonological Awareness, Letter Identification.

    • This activity can be implemented as a whole-class or small group game.

    • One student will time one minute using an hourglass timer.

    • As the educator shows students a letter card, the students will identify the letter name.

    • Students will attempt to name as many letters as possible before the timer runs out.

    • Then the same game can be played with identifying and making the letter sounds.
