These are just a few things I do in my class to reinforce letter recognition.

Plan:

For end of the year review, I make a graph, with 26 squares, on a large piece of paper. I put a letter of the alphabet in each square. The children then look through magazines for pictures that start with that letter and glue them in the correct box. If they can not find an object for a letter, then they can look for the letter to glue in the box.

Also, I write the children's names on a piece of paper, using different colored markers. You can write the letters vertically or horizontally, leaving a good space between letters. I have the children draw atleast 3 things that start with each letter in their name. They have to label objects drawn.

I lay letter cards on the floor and then I show them picture cards and they have to tell me what letter it starts with and lay the picture under the correct card.

Musical alphabet is another game we play throughout the year. I lay the alpha cards in a circle on my carpet. I play music and the children march around the letters and when the music stops, they have to tell me what letter they are standing by, it's sound and something that starts with that letter.
