P1 Home Activities for Literacy

Dear Primary 1 parents,

We have been learning the letters s and a this week.

In addition to reading with your child daily, here are some fun letter activities to do with your child at home if you want.

1. Put some dry rice, sand, shaving foam or similar on a baking tray and encourage your child to write the letters s and a with their finger.
2. Make the letters s and a with playdough. You can make playdough yourself – here is a simple playdough recipe .
3. Alligator starts with a. Roll dice and snap like an alligator that many times.
4. Go for a walk and see if you can spot the letters s and a on signs and posters.
5. Look at the pictures below. Practise saying the word and listening to the first sound. Encourage your child to identify the pictures that start with an a and those that start with a s.

Happy learning!
