Before you begin
Starting point: Pre-reader; pointing and finger tracing can replace pencil writing
Learning objectives
- Find a target uppercase letter among previously introduced letters
- Trace and copy a letter while hearing an adult’s sound model
- Compare known letter shapes
- Teach a familiar letter to a toy or adult
Materials and use
Print selected pages at actual size on US Letter paper. Keep an adult beside the learner. Choose one small activity and repeat or stop based on the child’s response. Use a pencil and paper; pointing, air-writing or moving objects can replace written answers.
Supplemental letter practice, also included in the complete Reading Foundations package; no need to obtain it twice. No live instruction, automated pronunciation grading or printed shipment.
Scope and sequence
S O L
Large movements, listening and target-letter matching.
M A P R F
Add one shape at a time and contrast it with known letters.
E I N U
Extend vowel recognition and return to earlier letters.
T D C B G
Practice remaining shapes, review and teach back.
Teach the child in front of you
Learning loop: Break > Name > Do > Teach
Break the idea into one small piece. Name what matters. Let the child act. Invite the child to teach it back. For reading, naming means noticing the sound, not drilling the alphabet name.
Support loop
Observe > Show thinking > Diagnose > Isolate > Scaffold > Child acts > Verify > Extend > Teach back. Watch what happened, ask for a demonstration and isolate one difficulty before offering help.
Correction ladder
1. Pause: Muéstrame cómo pensaste. 2. Cue: Escucha otra vez. Mira mi boca. 3. Isolate one part and offer a choice or a fresh model. 4. Try together, then let the child act. 5. Try one similar example, invite teach-back, or stop.
The adult makes letter sounds. Stretch S, L, M and F when useful; keep stop sounds brief. Begin reading with uppercase. Move through the validated sequence without introducing future vowels early.
Keep the first S session around 7-10 minutes or shorter. No timers, scores, streaks or mastery labels. Observe an action or explanation instead of assigning a performance rating.
