Apple Alphabet Puzzles Freebie - A Dab of Glue Will Do

The Alphabet is the building block of literacy for our little learners. How our students start to relate letters in print to language will carry with them for a lifetime.

And when young readers connect letters in print to the sounds they hear it helps them to begin to recognize letter sounds.

So if we’re able to make learning the alphabet a game, our students will love learning and find their ABCs exciting.

They will begin to recognize letters in their everyday life.

They will start to notice letters around the classroom, around the school, and at home.

And they will find letters in their books.

Because letters are EVERYWHERE!!!

As we work on our weekly Animal Alphabet Letter Crafts, students are able to connect letters with a fun craft and adorable animals.

To further their learning of the alphabet, students can create their own Alphabet Flip Books and will feel accomplished making and then reading their books.

As they master their recognition of letters, we then expand with Alphabet Clip Cards. This is a fun activity, incorporating learning and doing, while having fun.

Preschool and kindergarten students are able to show what they know with these hands-on Apple Alphabet Puzzles.

Because playing literacy games is a great way to get kids learning without realizing they’re learning.

Using the Apple Alphabet Puzzles

Students will first pick an upper or lowercase letter to work on and then find the corresponding letter piece.

Students will then sort through all of the pieces, looking for which letter matches the piece they have.

Another way this activity could be used is to have all of the letters laid out on a table or the floor. Students will then sort the remaining puzzles pieces according to their matching letter.

If you have younger students or students struggling with this concept, that might be overwhelmed with all the pieces at once, you can differentiate this activity and provide them with only a few letters at a time.

Once they master the pieces you gave them, you can slowly add in more.
