I'm slowly working through the photos in my This Week posts and collating all the photos into separate posts to make them easier to search. There's so much in those posts; snippets of our homeschool days, but they kind of get lost in the archives.
First up, literacy. In this post I've gathered together some ideas for pre-writing explorations, recognising letters and writing words.
All of the explorations are very hands-on; using lots of lovely manipulatives, art materials, sensory materials and even out in the garden.
I hope you find them useful.
Writing with large chalk (alphabet cards from Teepee Learning) | tracing sandpaper letters | creating letters with pushpins & rubber bands | stamping with wooden letter stamps | stamping in kinetic sand (wooden tray) | creating letters with wooden shapes | writing letters in coloured salt | creating letters with loose parts | matching letters with letter tiles and cards | matching letters to seeds
Tracing sight words with chalk & water| making sight words with letter tiles | creating sight words with letter shapes | writing sight words in coloured salt |writing letters to friends | writing stories in blank books | writing comic books | daily journal writing | writing sentences with letter tiles | creating microscope slides
Lots of simple ideas for exploring language in a very hands-on way 🙂
Next time I think I will collate the maths photos.
