Description
How to Teach Letter Order
This letter order activity helps kindergarten and 1st grade children learn the order of the alphabet. Knowing which letter comes before and after another is the first step to alphabetical order, and it helps children find words in a picture dictionary, a class list or a library shelf. Children who can say the ABCs still need practice seeing the order in print, one small chunk at a time.
How to Use This Activity
Each Parking Lot Card shows four letters in ABC order, but a little red car is parked on top of one of them. Children read the letters from left to right, figure out which letter is hidden under the car and write it on their Parking Log next to the card number. Nine cards use capital letters and nine use lowercase letters. The Alphabet Road chart is there to help when a child gets stuck. This kindergarten alphabet activity works well in literacy centers, small groups, morning work or as a quick review.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with skill, materials, prep and simple steps
- 18 Parking Lot Cards (9 capital and 9 lowercase)
- My Parking Log recording sheet
- Alphabet Road helper chart (A to Z, capital and lowercase)
- Kindergarten practice worksheet: write the missing letters
- Answer keys for the cards, the Parking Log and the practice worksheet
Why This Letter Order Activity Helps Kids
First, finding the hidden letter makes children think about what comes before and after, not just recite a song. Second, writing each letter on the Parking Log builds letter formation while reviewing the alphabet. Third, practicing with both capital and lowercase letters helps children match the two forms of every letter.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Line up toy cars on a real alphabet strip and hide a letter for your child to find. Ask children to name a word that starts with each hidden letter. Use the cards again later to put whole sets of letters in ABC order.
