Parents, do you have a a toddler or preschooler at home who's learning their ABC's? Here's a great early literacy activity for them from the Reading is Fundemantal website.
Letter Hunt
Ages: Toddlers, preschoolers
Materials: Construction paper, pencil, scissors, tape
Instructions:
1. Using one sheet of construction paper per letter, draw 10 letters.
2. Cut out the letters.
3. Go around your house and tape each cut-out to something that begins with the letter. For example, put an "R" on your refrigerator, a "D" on your door, or a "T" on your table. Make sure to position the letters at eye-level for your children.
4. Explain to your child what you've done. Ask if she would like to go on a letter hunt with you, and then walk with her around the house as she looks for the letters.
5. As she finds each cut-out, talk about other words that also begin with that letter.
6. After a few days, remove the letters and create a set of new ones. Repeat the activity.
