Letter Skills: Letter W
- Say It: W says “w” like water
- Practice It: Get a plastic garden sprayer and fill with water; tell child if he can say “w” sound when asked what W says that you will mist the air with water and let him feel the rain
- Recognize It: Decorate Blank Letter W with “worms” (small pieces of yarn)
- Letter W box – fill empty wet wipes box with small items that begin with the letter W (water-in baby food jar, web-white yarn, toy watermelon slice, worm, etc.)
- W is for Worm – give each child a gummy worm (older preschoolers only) if he can say the correct sound “w” makes when asked
- W is for Watermelon – Cut out green oval from construction paper; cut out smaller pink oval and glue on top; this should resemble a watermelon that has been split in half; provide black stamp pad; if child can say the “w” sound correctly when asked, he may come up and press finger onto stamp pad and then press onto watermelon-making a fingerprint watermelon seed
