Letter Hunt

Lately, we've been learning and reviewing letter sounds. Here is a new activity we tried. 

I gave the girls an alphabet chart and had them name each letter.Then, I modeled how to find and cut out letters from magazines and match them up on the chart. 

We only got through about 10 letters before they were ready to move on. I want to make it fun and not boring, so we will pick up where we left off another day.

I've had a hard time posting because lately I'm really focused on teaching Lil to read, and O is just along for the ride.  Teaching reading is exciting, but there aren't always kodak moments.  

Today Lil used some of her basic letter sound knowledge to find some " Kodak moments" of her own.  I gave her a list of letters and my iPad and set her loose to snap pics of items for each letter.  She had fun and it was a good review for her.

She started with the first 10 letters today.  Here are the pictures she took:
