Letter+recognition

K-2

 * [|Alphabet Poster]** Students drag the letters of the alphabet to their correct place on the alphabet poster. You can play more than once because missing letters are randomly selected.

Letter Reveal
A grid of 9 squares covers a letter of the alphabet. Students "scratch off" or erase a number to reveal part of a letter and attempt to guess what the letter is. You can use this in conjunction with a spinner or random number generator in SMART Notebook to choose the number that students should erase. Capital letters only right now.


 * [|Garden Leaves]** Free registration at Literactive.com is required to use this activity. Students are presented with three ending letter baskets and an assortment of CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words printed on colorful leaves that they must sort correctly into the baskets. Pronunciation of the ending letters and words is provided, along with aural feedback.


 * [|Word Maker 1]** The voice on this website has a very British accent, so you may wish to turn down the volume and provide your own narration. Students select a starting letter (called the "onset" on this site) and then an ending letter combination (called the "rime") and put these into the word maker to create a word. There are several activities to choose from, including a summary section.


 * [|Nine Squares]** Students are presented with pictures of nine objects, and asked to find the picture that starts with a given sound. Very colorful and fun animation of a break-dancing owl when a level is completed.


 * [|Fishing Bowl]** Free registration is required to use this activity. Students sort gold fish labeled "b", "d" and "p" into the appropriate fish bowl. There is verbal feedback for each attempt. Letter pronunciation accompanies the student's selection of fish.


 * [|The Easel Game]** Students are presented with three pictures and a letter of the alphabet. The sound of each letter is pronounced. The student selects the picture that starts with that letter. The site is very colorful, and verbal feedback is provided for each attempt.


 * [|Word Maker 2]** Very similar to Word Maker 1 with the addition of more difficult levels. Be aware that some of the objects are referred to with a British word such as "tin" for can, and "cot" for crib.
