Script Moveable Alphabet

• Show Me

Ask your child to point to the different letters on their T-shirt, and feel free to mix up the order! It is essential to use the sound of the letter instead of the name for young learners.

• What’s That?

Point to the letters and ask your child to say the sound.

• What’s Missing?

This game requires your child to be within reach. First, ask your child to cover their eyes while you cover one of the letters. Then, the child must guess which one is missing.

• Eye- Spy

Look for items in everyday life that begin with the letter of your choice through the game Eye-Spy.

• Bring Me

Ask your child to bring you something that begins with your chosen letter.

• Drawing Letters

Allow your child to try to draw or paint the letters on paper. You can also fill a tub with flour, sand or corn starch so they can draw with their fingers.

• Tracing/ Sky Writing

To trace, ask your child to extend their middle and index fingers so they can slowly follow the lines of the letters. They can also use the same two fingers to write the letters in the air.

• Alternating Game

Choose an age-appropriate category such as boys/girls names, countries or animals. Ask your child if they would like to begin with a or b. Then, take turns to complete the alphabet with allowances for difficult letters such as q, x, y and z. Use the letters on the T-shirt to keep track.  

• Middle Sounds

Focus on the blue vowels. How many words can you think of with the letter 'a' in the middle? Then, repeat for each vowel.

• End Sounds

Work through the alphabet and try to think of words ending in each letter.

• Name Game

Work through the names of family members/ friends and ask your child to point to the first letter/ last letter.

• Comparison Game

Show your child a letter in print and ask your child to find the cursive letter that matches.

• Finding Letters in a Book

Ask your child to find the print version of a specific cursive letter in their favourite book.
