OooooooOOOoooo... Singing in our opera voice, Amazing Action Alphabet is teaching letter O.
In my virtual workshops I teach letters, sounds, and reading skills for Pre-K learners as well as children who struggle with speech and reading. The instruction provides multi-sensory and phonemic rhymes, songs, and hands-on activities with reading and writing suggestions for a total learning!
Amazing Action Alphabet's Beginning Readers is a MUST HAVE for all preschoolers and beginning readers. This book has 26 mini books that build upon each other as the reader progresses and learns more letter sounds and words.
Today we read the My Mom book which introduced the letter O. We reviewed the letters we've learned so far in a fun way with THE ROCK MONSTER. I wrote the letters on pieces of paper and we fed the monster the letters. You can also do this with words if the child is ready.
O day is when I talk about OPERA music! Have you been to the opera, and can you remember that opera singer singing with her giant O shaped mouth? I can imagine her singing her scales now...O - O- O- O- O- O- O-! Singing like this makes kids just giggle! :O
I get out all my fanciest dress ups and have the kids pretend we are in the Opera. Fun Huh?!?
Today we did a little painting with the letter O. I know I have mentioned this before, but my favorite glossy way to paint is by adding 2 Tablespoons of Karo Syrup and 1 drop of food coloring. It makes a lovely O the Ostrich.
{activity found in my Amazing Action Alphabet book}
Teach your kids about the Primary colors; red, yellow and blue. Let each child experiment with mixing colors by adding 1 drop of red + blue to make purple. Try 1 drop of red + yellow to make orange and so on.
Don't forget to listen to fantastic OPERA music while doing this activity~
Here is a video of a fun way to practice the letter O.
