Alphabetic awareness 

What is the lesson (overall purpose)?  
Play the game “I spy” with found alphabet letters, in your surroundings, to help strengthen letter recognition. 

MA Guidelines/Standards:
APL 2: The child will demonstrate eagerness and curiosity as a learner.


Learning Outcomes:
- Child will continue working on recognizing the written alphabet
- Child will show eagerness in finding letter shapes.

​

Songs, Books & Videos (Motivational Techniques)
Sing the ABC song a few times. If you have the entire ABC’s written down somewhere, use this as a reference!
 I have attached an image you can use with your child as a good reference. 

Materials 
-ABC reference sheet
- Your eyes! 


Activity (Procedure):

- Start by singing the ABC song while following along on an ABC reference sheet. Point to each letter as you sing. 
- Tell your child you can find letters of the alphabet almost EVERYWHERE you look! 
Show examples: in and on books, magazines, newspapers, on street signs, grocery list, food boxes, the computer, on mailboxes, letters, etc!
- Play “I Spy” but only look for letters.  Have the parent start and then take turns. 

Activity Wrap Up: 
Review the ABC reference sheet and the fact that letters can be found everywhere.


How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
- Is my child interested in playing this game?
- Is my child recognizing written letters with the correct letter name?

- Does my child use the ABC reference sheet while playing the game?

How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)

Can you find the separate letters in your name on items around you?
Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions)

Your child may struggle to recognize or remember letter names. Use the ABC reference sheet when they are struggling! Sing the song and stop on the letter you are trying to figure out. Chances are they will then remember the name of the letter!
