These letters offer a great larger scaled option. These foam letters are from Walmart. They are meant for the bathtub, but hey they’ll work just fine. Adding in the fine motor component is important for back to school as well! You can also have students use their fine motor tweezers as well. Students will simply sort the beans to the correct muffin liner. these supplies can be picked up at the Dollar Store.) You will write the lowercase and/or capital letters on the beans. You’ll just need a muffin tin, muffin liners, and some beans! (Ps. Let’s get started with some fun hands-on and engaging activities you can whip up for your students that are easy to implement! Up first is this simple letter bean sort.

Let’s get into some alphabet activities for your students! Another group member also noted that she recently heard that going in abc order at first helps to give students “velcro” for future learning. That is just my personal opinion but hers is backed with research. So, we teach numbers in order to help with automaticity. I’ve never seen a teacher that goes 1, 7, 9 since they all have straight lines. I know even for myself I will sometimes go back through in my head how the alphabet looks or sounds to grab the letter I need.
My side note. The students see and hear the alphabet in abc order. She states it is key for helping with automaticity. She has done several research studies and she states an alphabetical approach with specific systematic routines is best. I was introduced to the brain work by Virginia Berninger. Teaching the Alphabet Ī couple other notes. For those of us that have taught prek or kindergarten we know that these students can come in not even knowing what a line is let alone a letter… letter sound? No.
In my opinion I think it’s too big of a jump to go right into a letter order that is good for reading/building words. You have those that believe letters should be taught in an order based on how the look, taught in an order where letters that are more common in reading/the world around us, or a letter order that assists with reading/building words. I could not find where ONE scope was regarded higher than another. However, in my Science of Reading journey, I wanted to make sure that there wasn’t an alternate scope out there that was better. Teachers have had immense success with this so it was the scope already at the top of my list. Kinderphonics Unit 1 introduces letters Aa-Zz the first 25 days of school. This program has been used around the country since fall 2014.
Back in 2014 I released my phonics program called KinderPhonics. However, I do have some personal thoughts on spending the first 25 days of school introducing the alphabet. (It should be noted that although my programs go Aa-Zz, you CAN swap the letter order if you must!) I get a lot of questions about using an Aa-Zz order. It is important that students also work on mouth placement for each letter, attach a sound icon to the letter, and exercise proper handwriting paths of motion for each letter. In my Guided Phonics Curriculum and KinderPhonics Curriculum, students will progress through the alphabet in Aa-Zz order for the first 25 days of school.
