Literacy Center Prep
I found these adorable boxes at Kroger and decided to create a center using the Lakeshore alphabet manipulatives we have at home.
I placed all of the manipulatives in the cauldron
Halloween Activity
There were a few times he got “stuck” on some of the objects. I would never give him the answer or even really help him. But instead, I said the word with the sound he chose.
For example, for “motorcycle” he said it began with /t/ (aside from the fact that he hadn’t noticed /t/ wasn’t an option, yet). I said “totorcycle”, causing extreme laughter and forcing him to rethink his answer.
He said the word slowly again and was able to determine it began with the /m/ sound. Also he was able to correct himself and determine the sound and which letter it belonged to.
Halloween Literacy Centers
Creating engaging activities like this center is perfect during the holidays. Since Halloween is a sugar-filled week of hyper kids, giving them a new, hands-on and cute game to play makes a crazy week more manageable.
