Letter scavenger hunt

English Language Arts

• Recognition of letter shapes and formations through searching for specific letters in the scavenger hunt.
• Identification of letter sounds by associating the letter with words found during the activity.
• Development of letter awareness and letter-word association by searching for objects that start with the same letter as the target letter.
• Strengthening of letter recognition skills by finding both uppercase and lowercase letters during the scavenger hunt.

For continued development, you can create a personalized letter scavenger hunt where the child searches for letters in their name or specific words they are learning. You can also incorporate letter recognition activities into everyday tasks, such as asking the child to find a specific letter on food packaging or in books.
