The alphabet is one of the most important things any child can learn. It is the key to understanding written language. Along with letter recognition, proper letter formation is an important skill that we help Kindergarteners acquire through various fun and innovative activities. Often it is the children that come up with the ideas.
During their “Choice Time”, Sania, Shelby, Hayden and Jade decided to form some of the letters of the alphabet using their bodies. Wow! Not only is this a way to asses letter recognition and formation, but this activity also helped these children learn about body awareness and the use of their limbs. This seemingly simple and creative activity required the use of spatial, linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic, and interpersonal intelligence!
