Start by scrolling to the bottom of the post, under the terms of use, and click on the text link that says >> Download <<. The pdf file will open in a new window for you to save and print the freebie. I suggest printing in color on cardstock. You may also want to laminate them for durability. This will ensure they survive all the hands on alphabet practice your child will have with this ABC printable!
Finally, cut out the popsicles for this phonics game. This printable take a little work to cut out carefully, but they are well worth the effort! I store the pieces in a large ziplock bag so they are ready to pull out and play at a moments notice. These also make a great summer themed addition to a literacy center for May or August. (see cutting instructions below)
Kindergarten Summer Learning
Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler – you will love how this activity helps children practicing working on visual discrimination, phonemic awareness, and beginning to decipher words using phonics skills so they are ready to dive into reading during grade 1.
There are two levels to this activity depending on the age of your student:
- 2 Part Uppercase and lowercase Letter Match – simply cut the popsicle apart at the top line so only the orange part is apart. This is great for preschoolers and prek to practice matching upper and lower letters.
- 3 part Phonemic Awareness Puzzles – Cut apart the popsicles at both the top orange line AND cut apart the red stripe as well. Students will need to match both by visual discrimination AND by listening for the beginning sounds of the clipart shown. This listening for phonemic awareness is a great starting point for sounding out words, phonics, and reading independently!
