ACTIVITY 8:

SOUND HOP

3 spots (carpet squares, rubber circles, etc...) placed on floor, teacher/student sound out words together and the child moves spots for each sound C A T

ACTIVITY 9:

In small groups, teacher lays down letter squares and has a child stand by each of the letters (3 letters, 3 children - 5 letters, 5 children). The teacher then makes a sound with the action and the child that is standing by the letter that makes that sound gets to step onto his/her letter.
