Activities to support the Alphabet Chart

A quick note on the alphabet... the alphabet is simply taught to allow children to identify letters which can then make up graphemes to form phonemes.When using the alphabet chart, we teach that there is a capital and lowercase form for each letter of the alphabet (26). A can say /a/ as in apple but it can also say /air/ as in ant.It is important that we teach that letters can make multiple sounds so that children don’t associate a letter to a given sound. Letters (graphemes) only make sounds (phonemes) when in a word.
The alphabet chart could be used as follows (not exhaustive):

  • Finding the matching Australian animals eg. “find me the rat... great work... what letter does rat start with?”. You can start to associate with phonological awareness as they develop to say “Well done for finding the rat. In this word, the r makes the /r/ sound like in rabbit etc.” Identify other animals that may start with the R. You could also ask your child what letters make up the word rat and identify how many letters are in the word.

  • Thinking of rhyming words, even if nonsense eg. “Can you think of a word that rhymes with yabby? This will be hard for some of the words on the alphabet chart but you can expand to other animals etc. Rhyme has to be explicitly taught. Rhyme refers to the ending of words that share the same ending sounds.

  • Buy a kids scrap book and grab some pens and start a developing dictionary where new words can be added to underneath each letter.

  • Letter hunt. “Find... p for python” or if you want to gradually release, you can say “Find me q... well done...what animal is this?” An extension could be to find the letter on its own and start identifying the sound the letter makes in the word.
