15 Fun Ways to Work on Letters and Sight Words
My daughter finished Kindergarten this Spring and her teacher advised us to work on sight words every day this summer so she doesn't forget everything. We prefer to spend our time outdoors playing in the sunshine, so this seems a little daunting. However, I know it's important, especially since we will be moving to a new school next Fall, so I made a list of all the fun ways we have worked on letters in the past. I hope this will help you this summer too!
- Egg Hunt for Letters and Sight Words - Write words or letters on small pieces of paper and leave place them in eggs for a fun hunt!
- Make Letters with this Easy Home-made Play-Dough
- Write letters to friends or family or create a Pen-Pal
- Matching Game - Write letters on several different sheets of paper. Use Play-Dough to create shapes and then ask your child to match each shape to the correct letter. Such as matching "Star" to "S". Have your child physically place each shape on the correct letter.
- ABC Activity Using Dot Markers
- Rock Letters
- Hunting in sand for letters
- Using glue and Christmas sprinkles for fun sensory letters and words
- Letters with Home-Made Puff Paint
- Play Bingo, either by making your own, or buy this cheap one from Amazon!
- Play Scrabble Junior - It's a lot more fun than than we thought it would be!
- Do "Homework". Make letters on a page and have them circle each letter as you say it (This works especially well if kids have an older sibling and you can tell them they are doing "homework")
- Cut out objects from a magazine and spread them on the table. Tell your child to pick out every object that start with "s", and so on.
- Letter Tree - Make a large tree and make sight words on "leaves". Have your child glue the sight words to the tree and let them hang it in their room so they can see it often.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
