Our Alphabet Journey Continues with Letters C, D & E!

Letter C

I love using My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss for Letter C. Using this book gives me an opportunity to revisit color words (Put Me In the Zoo) and rhyme. We talk about our favorite colors and how our favorite colors can make us feel.
My kindergarten students in our Autism Strand also do the same curriculum with differing supports for our activity. After our read aloud, students apply what they have "learned" from our story of the day. In order to allow all learners to participate, the lesson activity could take several forms. Some students "make a match," while others use a word bank for support. All students receive an activity that has the color of the word printed on it and there is a key on the board to follow.

Letter D

Our featured story for letter D was Go, Dog. Go! by P.D. Eastman. An excellent book to use with

your child to have them start reading. There are many early words with pictures that give meaning. I
can even see the students reading along as I read. This year I also added a video to support more differentiated reading for some of our English Language Learners and Autism Strand students, but differentiating instruction helps ALL learners.

I love to share my favorite page of the story, see below!

Letter E

Buy me here!

Students and I read Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss and discussed trying new foods to celebrate the Letter E on our alphabet journey. Sam-I-Am does not give up until he convinces the character to try the green eggs and ham...and he likes them! You may find getting your child to try new foods a bit easier if you remind them of the story of Green Eggs and Ham!
