Activities

  • Activity 1: Letter E Hunt

    • Write the letter E on the whiteboard or paper. Go on a hunt around your home and find objects that start with the letter E. When you find an object, say its name out loud and spell it together with the letter E at the beginning. For example, if you find an elephant, say "elephant" and spell it "E-elephant".

  • Activity 2: E is for E coloring

    • Give your child a coloring sheet with various objects that start with the letter E. Encourage them to color the objects and say their names out loud while spelling them with the letter E. For example, if there is an egg on the coloring sheet, they can say "egg" and spell it "E-egg" as they color it.

  • Activity 3: E Word Puzzle

    • Write some simple words that start with the letter E on separate pieces of paper. Cut the words into individual letters and mix them up. Ask your child to put the letters in the correct order to form the word. For example, if the word is "elephant", they need to arrange the letters E, L, E, P, H, A, N, and T in the right order.
