Activity Effectiveness: Very effective

Since a couple of months we have been doing the alphabet learning following the letter of the week strategy, colouring and painting the letters and play doh mats of letters.

Talking about crafts we made this felt alphabet activity craft book to enrich our english letter learning journey. This has resulted as a nice activity to reinforce letter recognition and what each alphabet calls for. You need simple things velcro, thin and thick felt paper sheets in multi-colour , craft glue , needle and thread to sew and a pair of scissor. I am not listing the method to make this as all the felt books are quite similar in terms of crafting and there is a lot of guidance material as how to do it.

Below is what the pages hold inside ;

Once the book was made alhamdulillah ; we paired it with the alphabet learning tablet for the sounds of each letter and what it indicates on the book. The book has one object to indicate to each letter but we also tried to bring in as many objects from the things around us (everyday objects, from the books we read, fruits and vegetables) to reinforce the alphabets’ learning. We tried to craft things we already knew and put some new ones to encourage new vocabulary and learning enhancement as-well alhamdulillah.
