Pre-Reading and Phonemic Awareness Activities
- Play with magnetic letters and encourage your child to sound out whatever "word" he makes with them.
- Make an ABC book from construction paper and magazine pictures.
- Draw a letter on paper and then ask your child to roll out a piece of playdough the same shape.
- When first practicing writing try using a Magnadoodle instead of paper and pencil... it saves paper and mistakes can
be easily wiped away.
- Play alphabet BINGO. Try doing it with letter names as well as letter sounds.
- Give your child a word such as "hat" and ask how many words he can think of that rhyme with it.
- Each time your child learns to read a word write it in large print on an index card. Place each card into a large
manilla envelope and label it as "Words I Know." When he learns about 10 words he can start putting them together into
silly sentences. You can also set them up into various games.
- Choose a letter of the day like Sesame Street. Throughout the day he must find items that begin with the chosen
letter.
- Lay 5 items out on the table and ask your child to look closely at them. When he is sure that he has memorized the
objects ask him to cover his eyes and you remove one item. He is then to determine which item is missing. This
is fun to play with a whole room of the house. The object is the same but instead of 5 items your child looks at a complete
room and then must decide what you have removed while he is gone from the room
- Play "I Spy" but instead of giving physical characteristics give the beginning sound... for instance... "I spy something
that begins with "c"
