Learning About Letters with Preschoolers

Children are naturally curious about everything around them. Games and learning alphabet worksheets for preschoolers helps prepare kids to learn how to read when they enter kindergarten.

Background Knowledge: When children begin to learn about the shapes we call letters, it sets their brains up for success. Soon they will need to understand that each letter represents a different spoken sound.

Understand Reading: Children with letter knowledge can easily make the jump from naming different letters to understanding that letters are truly a code for how to read.

Improves Fluency: The goal before learning to read would be to be able to effortlessly name letters, both uppercase and lowercase. That ease makes the transition to learning sounds much less difficult.

Make Connections: Preschoolers often learn letter names, letter sounds, and how to write letters simultaneously. It helps them make connections as to how they all relate to each other and to the bigger picture of reading.

• Paper
• Lowercase Alphabet Stamps

• Pencil

How to Use The Activity:

Ways to Extend the Valentine’s Day Alphabet Activity

Create a Sensory Bin: Sensory activities for kids are important. Place the letter stamps in the sensory bin all mixed up. Then have students find a letter, then find the right sheet to stamp it on.

Say it Out Loud: It helps when kids say the letter names as they play. You can then talk about the sound each letter makes and words that begin with that sound.

Play a Game: It’s easy to turn a Valentine worksheet for preschool into a game! Kids can take turns spinning, or place the letter pages upside down so they don’t know what letter they might draw.
