I chose a beginning letter sounds game for her “homework” because his homework was word work as well. The other reason I chose it was because she needs little to no help with this skill and I was hoping my son would offer to check her work if she asked. You could easily do this game without the homework spin just for the benefit of early literacy skill development.
Gather your materials. You will need 1-2 cookie sheets, letter magnets, some magnets with easily identifiable items like animals, plain paper, and markers.
Write out the words without the first letter.This may act as a scaffold for children more advanced in their literacy development but I wrote it out so that after my daughter matched the beginning sound I could go over the full word with her. She is presently obsessed with spelling and writing and I knew for HER this would grab her attention and make the activity more meaningful.
Set the trays up with the items next to their word and place the letter magnets some place off the trays.
She saw the set up as we were leaving to pick her brother up from the bus stop – look how excited she was!
He got busy with this word work and she started saying each animal name and grabbing the corresponding letter for the beginning sound.
She kinda loved feeling like a big kid and I managed to sneak in learning too.
