A great activity to teach children about print awareness - letters make words, words make sentences and sentences tell something. Children will have fun identifying words from given clues.
Place 3 word/picture cards in the pocket chart. Without reading the words, talk about their characteristics: count the letters in each word, name the beginning letter and the ending letter of each word. Also, remind children that each word represents the picture shown on the card. Next, provide clues for children and have them identify the correct word/picture card. For example - Say: I am reading a word that has 4 letters, is an animal and ends with the letter n. What word am I reading?
Have children complete the sentence with the correct word. Have children look at the clues. The word begins with the letter b, has 4 letters and ends with the letter d. What word is it?
Repeat the steps above and then have children complete the sentence with the correct word.
Word/Picture Match
Have children match words to pictures.
Hunting for Words - Have children find and circle words that follow the clues given. in this example the clues were to circle all words that have four letters and begin with the letter s.
