Using Line It Up Coloring and Let ter Cards

This booklet contains one activity for each letter of the alphabet. We put the
letters in alphabetical order for ease of use. Introduce the letters in the order
that is comfortable to you. Each activity has six parts:
Conversation Starters – Questions about the Coloring Cards invite discussion.
Color & Draw – Children learn about position terms while personalizing
Coloring Cards.
Syllables – Children say and clap syllables for the target word.
Pictures – Children select pictures that start with a Letter Card’s target sound.
Words – Children listen to words and select the one that does not start
with the target sound.
Letters – Letters are introduced and traced.
It isn’t necessary to do all six parts in one session. Try completing Conversation
Starters, Color & Draw, and Syllables first. Continue with Pictures, Words, and
Letters at another time.
