This program is called, "Fun For Tots" because it is my experience that children learn when they are having fun. It is a 4 step progression into reading. This is for children that are learning to read or reading to learn.

Cut around the dice. Fold on all of the solid lines. Form into a dice by taping some of the sides

ABC Beads

Copy, cut out and punch the beads. Cut a long piece of yarn tape the end for a needle. Tie a bead at the end.

or

use a pipe cleaner to thread the beads. Tie a bead a bit before the end so that the tot doesn't lose their letter beads.  Let them thread the beads in alphabetical order.

Store in a zip lock bag.

ABC Letter Chain

Have the tots cut the 3 letter strips for a a set of 9 rings. My experience is that they loved to cut the strips. Then have them glue in alphabetical order for an ABC chain. I helped them with this.

Learn to read with this Micro Strip Book

Cut out these 6 strips. (Do not cut out page for page.) Fold back and forth and then staple on the left for a microstrip book from A-Z.

ABC Keys

Copy, cut out, and laminate. Punch a hole in each key. Thread a book ring through each hole. Name a letter and have the tot find the key. 

Letter Games

Learn Your Letters with Games

There are 2 dials with letter

. 1- lower case letters dial - This is for the easy level. The tots will start out with a prompt card where they will lay the cards in alphabetical order. When they get good at that, have them place the cards in rows by alphabetical order. The tots will take tuns spinning the dial. Whatever letter they get, will be turned over. Each tot will continue to do this until all of their cards are turned over. The game is over. This can be done with one child or many.

2- capital letters dial - Again the tots will take turns spinning a letter. The matching lower case to upper case letter will then be turned over until the tot has the alphabet flipped over. 

*(I like to wrap and elastic around the letter cards to keep them together and in alphabetical letters.

*Keep these flies for the words on a fly. You will be able to interchange the letters for words because you will have put a soft Velcro dot on the top middle of the fly and one rough dot on the back of the words. You can now interchange the flies and the letter or words on the fly. (Store your letters in zip lock bags.)

Letters on the Fly Game

Learn Your Letters on the Fly

Place a sticky Velcro circle on the back of each fly and 26 Velcro circles spread across the foam board. You will name or have them draw the letter that each tot will hunt down and swat. If playing against an opponent, then they will take the fly. You can have a tot find the letter of the day and swat. You can have them swat a word, by swatting a letter at a time. If you use a letter twice, then you will place the letter back on the foam board in a different spot. (The flies can be moved around whereas they have sticky Velcro on the back.)

Fish a Letter Game

Copy the fish. Cut out the letters. Store the capital and lower case letters in separate Zip Lock bags. Use the fish with the words in Step 4. interchange the letters for words on the fish. Make a pole with a dowel, string and magnet. I like to use the metal clip magnets at the Dollar Tree. Put paper clips on the end or press brad fasteners through the fish.
