Page 4: Letter Poem (Day 1)

Each letter has a silly poem to go along with the poster. Student creates a color code and finds the uppercase and lowercase letters. Student counts how many letters s/he found, and writes numbers on the lines. Practice the poem of the week daily to learn letter sounds. I recommend using the letter sign language with the last line of each poem. (Note that you are to say the letter first in the sentence and the sound last.) As you learn each letter, read the poems that go along with each one daily. Be sure to act them out for fun and engagement!

Page 5: Uppercase Letter and Lowercase Letter (Day 2)

Student traces letters, and write letters in spaces below.  

You might use crayons or markers for a extra fun.  

Page 6: Uppercase Letter (Day 3)

Student traces, writes, and draws a picture that corresponds with the uppercase letter on the poster.

Page 7: Lowercase Letter (Day 4)

Student traces, writes, and draws a picture that corresponds with the lowercase letter on the poster.

Alphabet Activities with Crafts and Writing Prompts for Literacy Centers

$91.00 $15.00

Prep for back to school with this letter craft pack that we use every week in our classroom that contains a craft for each letter of the alphabet! The craft connects directly to a silly song (or for letters O and V, a learning activity). There is a fill-in and a drawing space on each craft that allows for differentiation to add more words and label in the drawing space or to have the teacher write the word on the blank while the child just draws. The cutting involved with this packet also allows for growth in the area of fine motor throughout the your learning.  


As we complete our weekly letter study, we sing the kids’ song of the week and build an anchor chart with pictures that start with our special letter daily. On Friday, we create the correlating craft from this pack. Children refer to the anchor chart to complete the fill-ins on the crafts. They look forward to finding out what our letter craft of the week will be, and they love to copy from the anchor chart!  With the letter Aa, for example, we sing, "The Ants Go Marching." Below are the songs that connect to each of the 26 letter crafts:


A: The Ants Go Marching

B: Baby Beluga

C: Sally the Camel

D: How Much is that Doggie in the Window?

E: Do Your Ears Hang Low?

F: Baby Fish

G: The Green Grass Grows All Around

H: If You’re Happy and You Know It

I: Itsy Bitsy Spider

J: Five Little Monkeys Jumping On the Bed

K: Five Little Kittens

L: We’re Going On a Lion Hunt

M: Skinnamarink

N: I’m a Nut

O: (Activity: move your body like an octopus)

P: Peanut Butter and Jelly

Q: Five Little Ducks (quack)

R: If All the Raindrops

S: You Are My Sunshine

T: I’m a Little Teapot

U: Under the Sea

V: (Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar)

W: Down By the Bay (Where the Watermelons Grow)

X: What Does the Fox Say?

Y: Yakety Yak

Z: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
