Teaching Tip Tuesday

Learning to read and practicing spelling doesn't have to be all book work. Every where we go there are letters, words and numbers. The grocery store is a great learning place. We talk about what aisle number we are in, we find letters on boxes, and we've recently been buying alphabet food.

Did you know you can buy these...
and these...
and pretzels too!

We've been using pretzels to practice spelling, for 'writing' sentences, and for alphabetizing. It makes learning fun, and provides a snack too.

You can also glue the letter's to paper to make cards, name place settings for your dinner table or this picture idea I found here.
