Letter Pp Activities

October 31, 2015 By Mary Amoson Leave a Comment

Letter Pp Activities for little learners
This week we are diving into the letter Pp activities.
 And man… is this week loaded with PERFECTLY fun activities.
We complete these letter Pp phonics sheets for three days.
Letter Pp Phonics Sheets
I love to use these printables to see who can recognize the uppercase and lowercase Pps.
Letter Identification Printables for Little Learners
And we work on these letter handwriting sheets.
Letter P Formation Printables for Little Learners
I strongly believe that handwriting practice
should not only focus on the focus letter of the week,
but also on all the other letters.
This holds true for P and all those tricky letter that confuse little thinkers
since it is a good idea to work on all those b, d, p, and q
to help sort the formation in your little wonderful’s minds.
We use these pirate themed printables are a fun way to promote letter formation.

And we love using these fun sound printables for morning work,
word work,
or even homework help.
And these pigs can’t wait to get to their initial sound barns!
Sorting Sound Printable with PIGS
When I cover a letter, like Pp, and its sound,
I make sure to connect that letter theme through other educational elements such as math.
Here is one of my PIE themed math centers for sequencing numbers.
Pie Number Fill In Center Activity
You most likely see the pie number tent first.
I use this as a resource to help those who need more number support or formation assistance.
Draw your ideas to the pie cards.
Students fill in the missing number from the pies to order numbers.
A class favorite is the number puzzles.
Number Puzzles PERFECT for Kindergarten
There is a mat you can use to trace and/or form numbers in order.
And there is a matching mat you cut apart to create a puzzle.
This activity helps with sequencing and counting numbers.
I also created these popcorn themed ten frame matching game.
You can use this mat many ways.
POPCORN Ten Frame number sense game
You can have your students draw in the number on the ten frames using a dry erase marker.
Or you can use the pre-made popcorn themed cards to match the numbers.
One of the basic skills we focus on is creating a set of 10
 and how many ones to make two digit numbers.
Popcorn ten frame game for kinders
 For our reading time, we use this letter Pp reader.
Letter Pp Reader
It contains both sight words and initial letter Pp words.
I print out a copy, back to back, staple on the side and cut it in half.
We read this book together and my higher group uses the alternative version 
which allows them to fill in the initial letter work instead of just reading it.
Then we read it over and over again.
And I do mean over and over and over and over again.
These are always a huge hit.
I also love sending home readers with my Title 1 students
who may not have a lot of reading materials at home.
{One year I got a sibling and the mom told me she saved all the readers
I sent home with the older child so she would have “good things”
for her second child to read.
Talk about powerful.}
We also use a focus book to guide our reading strategies and encourage learning fun.
This week we used the book,
If You Give a Pig a Pancake.
http://amzn.to/1Wl2J6Q
We read this story out loud and laugh along the way.
Then we sequence the story using these cards.
Pig a Pancake Sequencing Cards
 As another tie into math and ordinal numbers,
we sequence the story.

 Check out this activity to sequence the events.
help sequencing using ordinal numbers
 We also use our literacy time to write about the book.
There is a word wall and different writing sheets your students can use.
Word Wall and Writing Prompt
 Here is a look at all three versions.
I use a different version for all three of my ability groups.
Use different prompts for different learners
On Friday’s we chart our letter Pp words.
I have to start out each year teaching my students how to chart.
Then we grasp the idea, we excel at this!
Charting P Words
 I created differentiate guide cards to encourage charting and then
allow this activity to be a write the room activity.
I love to use the chart whole group,
 then have cards hidden in the room for them to create their own!
Use different write the room cards for different learners
 You can see all three versions of the cards here.
One version has just the word on it.
One version has just the image on it.
The last version has both the word and the image.
Write the Room Cards- 3 VERSIONS
Since I am usually the collaborative teacher,
 this is also a huge help with my special ed student who need picture support.
Ironically, the cards with only the image NOT the easiest,
they are actually the hardest.
Those students have to sound out the picture and write the word “pool” on their own.
And the cards with just the word allow students to copy the word,
but then I make them read me those words too.
 We play this reading comprehension game.
It is so much fun and so easy to collect data on comprehension skills for students.
Reading Comprehension Game for Kindergarteners
 We play this in small groups, at our Daily 5 Stations.
I read the cards out loud and my students answer it.
My EIP teacher LOVES these too.
 She can play these in small groups easily.
For additional word work activities,
we write these CVC words.
Making CVC Word FUN
And here is a fun file folder game for initial sounds!
Can you see the ladybug piece by the letter L?
We use the pictures to cover the letter that picture begins with!
Play this initial sound file folder game often!
 This is ideal for an instant initial sound assessment or RTI data collection.
