Simple (Printable) Letter of the Week Curriculum

 This post contains affilate links that I hope you will find helpful!!

I've been doing a very simple "letter a week" curriculum with my daughter!  She just turned three and it is my desire to give her letter awareness.  I enjoy "letter a week" for organization but I strongly feel that it is just one way to introduce letters to your child.  On Saturdays (and occasionally through the week) we complete activities that include learning ALL the letters!!  These are the current FREE online resources we have been using.  ENJOY!

Click each link below to be directed to the free printable resource...

• Monday- Alphabet Itsy-Bitsy Books  A fun mini book for each letter of the alphabet (does NOT include the vowels).  We keep each completed book in a special box to look back at and review (see picture above)!

• Tuesday- A-Z Play Dough Mats  I place the mat inside a clear plastic page protector then we roll out our play dough and form the letters!

• Wednesday- Uppercase Alphabet Color & Trace Pages First we use a marker and trace the three letters, then we decorate or color the picture, last we glue cheerios, noodles, pom poms, or other small objects to the letter.

• Thursday- Lowercase Alphabet Color & Trace Pages First we use a marker and trace the three letters, then we decorate or color the picture, last we glue cheerios, noodles, pom poms, or other small objects to the letter.

• Friday- Cut and Glue Letter Pictures (locate each letter on the right side of the web page then find the activity sheet that has "words that begin with the letter")  I've recently purchased Fiskars Pre-School Spring Action Scissorsto teach beginning scissor skills and she LOVES it!  Then I allow her to use the glue to glue the pictures!

• Saturday- ALL Letters Review: We read alphabet books, complete alphabet puzzles, sing a-z learning songs, etc. (a FEW of my favorites can be found on Amazon below)

Once our letter is completed for the week I staple the letter pages together for her to look through like a book (see picture below)!

This has been a very simple and fun way to introduce and begin letter awareness with my child!  Happy Learning!

Personalize your Child's Alphabet Books!

Does your child recognize the first letter in their name?  This is the first letter I taught my daughter!  A fun and simple idea to help your child learn the first letter in their name is through this easy activity!

1. Choose a picture of your child and print out "wallet sized" prints from your computer (or local photo center)
2. I printed mine on regular computer paper so I decided to laminate the paper photo pages for durability
3. Collect all your alphabet books 
4. Tape your child's picture to the letter page that their name begins with in each alphabet book (see picture below)
5. Now when your child's flips through their alphabet books they will see their picture and the first letter of their name!
