Letter Identification, Letter Rainbow Mat & Fonts Sorts

Sample Activities to Promote Letter Identification"

Font sort

Select two to five letters that students have already mastered. "Think aloud" with
students as you describe each letter's shape and features. Include a discussion
about similarities and differences between different types of fonts.
Use the font sort cards to model a sort between several previously taught letters. For
example, if students are working on the letters 'b', d, and t, shows them how to choose
a 'b', match it to the example, and place it in the 'b' area.
Distribute font sort cards to students. The students complete the sort in small groups
or individually. The activity can be differentiated for students by increasing or limiting
the number of letters in the bag. For example, more proficient students may complete
the font sort with six different letters, while less proficient students may sort two or
three. Ensure each student is not working with more than two new letters.
As an extension activity, students can identify the letters used in the font sort in
environmental print, a consumable book, newspapers, or magazines.
