Alphabet practice with Alpha-bits Cereal

http://www.google.com/

A fun activity to do with your preschooler is to buy Alpha-bits cereal and have them sort a handful of letters. 

You will need to make is a chart that has one letter of the alphabet in each box.  You do this buy just drawing lines on a piece of paper to make the squares and write one letter in each square.  I like to write both the upper and lower case letter in each square and I place it in the corner of the square so the child can put the letters in the square and not cover up the written letters.  Once your paper is ready you can begin.

First, give your child a small cup of Alphabits cereal. 

Then, show your child that the cereal is made into letters.

Then, ask your child to say the letter and show your child how to match the letters to the letters on the sheet. 

Next, let them do one or two on their own while you watch.  Make sure they say the letter and put in in the correct box with the corresponding letter on their paper.

Explain that some cereal pieces are broken and you can't see the letter so we put them to the side or eat them.

When your child is done, check each box to see if they put the correct letters in the box, if not talk about the letter and show your child where it goes and let them place it in the correct square.

After, eat the cereal as a snack.

Enjoy!
