Reading Activity

Activity Name: World of words

What you'll need:

Hang posters of the alphabet on the class walls or make an alphabet poster with your students. Print the letters in large type. Capital letters are usually easier for young children to learn first.
Label the things in your student's pictures. If your someone draws a picture of a house, label it with "This is a house." and let them take it to home.
Have your student watch you write when you make a shopping list or a "what to do" list. Say the words aloud and carefully print each letter.
Let your students make lists, too. Help your student form the letters and spell the words.
Look at newspapers and magazines with your students. Find an interesting picture and show it to your students as you read the caption aloud.
Create a scrapbook. Cut out pictures of people and places and label them.
By exposing your student to words and letters often, your student will begin to recognize the shapes of letters. The world of words will become friendly.
