Alphabet Sounds Practice Poems

September 21, 2014 misskindergarten 11 Comments

The first few weeks of school have been spectacular! I always forget how difficult different the beginning of kindergarten is from the rest of the year, but we are finally getting in the groove and I have the greatest bunch of learners! I wanted to share a fun activity we did this week to help practice alphabet sounds.

alphabet sounds practice

This activity is perfect for helping your students practice alphabet sounds in a fun way. My students love this game and don’t realize they’re even learning! After reciting the poem together, your students will pick a letter out of the basket and identify the sound the letter makes. Perfect for small groups, whole group, or as a time filler at the end of the day!

If you don’t want to use a basket, you can give each student an apple at the beginning, or turn the apples over in the pocket chart and have your students come up one at a time to flip an apple.

Introducing the Activity

I introduced the alphabet sounds game during guided reading in a small group. Every kiddo had multiple opportunities to pick an apple from the basket and figure out the sound the letter made. I have seen SO much improvement in their abilities since the first day of school! So proud of my littles. 

After we picked out all the apples, we worked together to identify each letter and put the apples in alphabetical order. So many skills in one little activity! We had a little time at the end of the day after packing up and my kiddos begged me to play the apple game! #dontmindifwedo

Choosing an apple to find the alphabet sounds

Keep the Learning Going!

Kindergartners thrive off repetition, so the more practice, the better! I created an alphabet sounds game for each month so we can continue to practice letter names, letter sounds, and building words throughout the year. Each month, the theme changes to keep my students interested and engaged. Here’s a look at our October poem!

Love how @noelsrainbows set this up!

I’m working really hard to learn as much as I ca I’m working really hard to learn as much as I can about discrimination and racism and how to help teach my own daughters and my students how to continue making a change and moving in the right direction. I’m still learning. I make mistakes, and I learn more and more every single day. @misselgendy shared this post from @halpey1 and it really resonated with me. I thought it showed a great way to get your students involved in how they can help, not just on MLK day, or during Black History Month, but every day. Sometimes as a teacher and as an “influencer”, I feel pressured to do and say things that I’m not 100% confident with, but I’m learning. Just like I tell my students, continue to learn and continue to try your best. ❤️❤️❤️
