ABC Lightning Reading Game
Hello, you speedy letter detectives! Play a fun game to quickly recognize letters. You'll need a sheet with all the letters of the alphabet.
What you'll need
- Sheet with the alphabet
- Optional: Stopwatch
How it works
-
Draw or print all the letters of the alphabet on a sheet of paper. Each letter gets its own space.
-
Sit down with your friend or an adult. One person points to a letter, and the other quickly says the sound of that letter. For example: If someone points to 'M', you say 'M'.
-
Sometimes letters look similar, like 'b' and 'd'. Here's a little tip: Make a fist and point your thumbs up. Now look. Your left thumb makes a 'b' and your right makes a 'd'.
-
Try to get a little faster each time. But remember, it's more important to recognize the letters correctly than to be super fast.
-
The most important thing is to have fun. You can also time how long it takes you to go through all the letters and try to beat your own time!
