Meet Alphablock N, who loves to say “no!" N needs something. Is it a nurse? A new net? How about nice notes? Write over the letters to help N decide. Once you've helped N, write lots of lovely n letters for him.
Can you name all the Alphablocks you’ve met? Check as you spot each letter and say the sound.*
King of kicks!
We love wigs!
Grow and grow!
*Remember that Q doesn't make a sound on her own!
Put this poster up in your classroom to teach correct letter formation with your favorite Alphablocks! Here are some fun teaching ideas:
- Have students stand up and trace each letter in the air with their pointer finger while looking at the poster.
- Pick one letter each day. Examine how it’s formed on the poster (where to start, which direction to move). Have students trace it on a whiteboard or in a sand tray.
- Laminate a smaller version of the poster or display it on a table. Encourage students to trace letters with their fingers while saying the letter name and sound aloud.
Phonics fun on your fingertips! Cut along the dashed lines. (Ask your grown-up to help.) Roll each shape
around a finger and tape the ends together. Pop them onto your fingers and thumbs and have fun making
word magic!
Make these words with your Alphablocks: pen, pet, hen, bat, bug, cat, dog, dig, pop, sub, pig, peg, pen, pin, pan, pal, cot, pot, pup, can, cup, man, hat, cab, bag, lots, band. Use the extra S to make plurals.
