Easter Syllable Sort, Letter Mazes, and More Literacy Activities



A new round of literacy activity stations has begun!

Easter Syllable Sort

Students draw a card

and identify the picture on it 

then clap out the syllables together in the word

and place it on the correct sorting mat. 

barn, rainbow, butterfly, caterpillar

Once all of the cards have been sorted, they choose one from each mat to illustrate on their worksheet.

barn, cupcake, butterfly, watermelon

To differentiate, students can write the words instead of illustrate.

You can find the syllable sorting activity {here}

Easter Write the Room 

Students are on an Easter hunt around the room...

not for eggs, but for words!

Once found, they are written onto their recording sheets.

You can find the write the room pack {here}

Alphabet Mazes

Students begin at the top of the page and follow the upper & lowercase featured letter from beginning to end.

These letter mazes are a download found {here} at Education.com

Handwriting Books  

We are using {these} handwriting books, by Michelle Rist.

Students write lists of words beginning with each letter of the alphabet.

Listening Center

Students are listening to The Lamb and the Butterfly, then fill in a student response form. 

UPDATE 2016: I have created bundles of month-long literacy centers, to make things easy for Kindergarten teachers!
The packs include literacy activities in these 5 areas of learning:
1)Writing 2)Listening to reading 3) Word work (sight words) 4) Phonics/alphabet 5) Phonemic awareness
The packs are laid out, week by week, for the entire month. They include 5 stations for students to rotate through per week, with all of the components you’ll need for each activity.
Assessment tools are included to help keep learning on track and to keep your students accountable.
Learning is spiraled throughout the month, to help students build on their prior learning.
