Letter Recognition Activities with Alfie the Alphabet Alligator
Description
These activities help students learn to recognize alphabet letters and match capital and lowercase letter pairs. The letter recognition activities in this pack are made extra- engaging with “challenges” presented by a fun character, Alfie the Alphabet Alligator. Hands-on activities like puzzles, letter mazes, “cover the letter,” clip cards, and board games make it easy to give students plenty of practice with letter recognition while still keeping their attention!
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Alphabet Immersion: Students learn to recognize each letter in its capital and lowercase form through engaging activities and games. The activities can be used in a small group or for independent work, depending upon the needs of your classroom. Some of the activities can be completed independently by students and for others you could have students work with partners or in small groups. This resource can be used to introduce or review capital and lowercase letters.
- Multi-Sensory Approach: Children learn best when they can see, hear, touch, and manipulate objects. These activities incorporate a variety of hands-on activities and interactive games to ensure every student’s unique learning style is addressed.
- Teacher-Friendly Design: Your time is limited, so the activity directions are easy to follow and the set-up is very low-prep.

Where can I learn more about your literacy products and how to use them?

I teach in a split-grade class (i.e. 1st and 2nd). How should I select products for my students?
Alison always recommends getting the lower of the two grade levels. So if you teach in a 1st and 2nd grade class, get a 1st grade version. You can always differentiate in small groups or 1:1 to challenge your more advanced students!
I teach in Canada and am looking to buy some of your literacy products. How does the Canadian curriculum align to the U.S. curriculum?
Our Canadian customers tell us that it’s best to purchase one grade level down. If you teach first grade, for example, try a Kindergarten product. You can also check the preview file of any resource in our TpT store to see example lessons to help you make your decision!
