Last week students had the opportunity to explore the letter L. Tasks that reinforced letter and sound recognition of the letter L were woven into our daily learning activities. Below is an example of some of those activities.
We began our exploration of the Letter L with a craft. Students were required to follow along as an adult demonstrated each step of our craft.
Here, students are using materials from "Handwriting Without Tears" to build the letter L.
After building the letter L, students used their finger and then a crayon to trace the letter. This tracing was paired with language that reinforced the correct formation of the letter L (ex. start at the top).
Students were then given the opportunity to practice printing the letter on their own paired with colouring an image of something that starts with the letter L.
In addition to daily desk work, exploration of the letter L, including learning the corresponding sound and discovering the variety of things that start with the letter L were explored during our daily circle and music times.
After much practice, students were asked to trace and print the letter L independently in their Literacy journals. They were then tasked with picking a picture of something that begins with the letter L and finding that matching word in order to label their picture.
We loved learning about the letter L.
