Preschool Homeschool : The Letter R
We opted to homeschool instead of enrolling our son in standard Pre-K. I am sharing with you some of the activities we did to learn about the letter R. Whether you homeschool or not, these are short and sweet ways to reinforce letter learning.
We snacked on Raisins and would have made Rice Krispies Treats – if I wasn’t also defrosting my jammed up ice-maker and catching up on other stuff. It’s SO on my list though, I love them!
Walphabet’s ABCs Song : We always start with an ABC song. It is something that they can get excited about, since they generally know the tune, and that everyone can enjoy.
I poured Pickling Salt into a cookie sheet and shook it a bit to make it flat. (You can use whatever salt you want… or sand… or whatever…) Then, I drew an example and the kids practiced “writing” the letter “R”. My son (4) especially loves this activity. My daughter (2) enjoys it too. Fun sensory play!
Highlight-a-Letter by Babbling Abby. I use these for my oldest (4), while my youngest (2), colors on her own. She got Rosetta (Tinkerbell Movies) today. Rex (Animal Mechanicals) are other options
We did an R is for Rocket Craft from Pinterest. I pre-cut all of the parts and the kids put them where they wanted them. They enjoyed this one, because they both like to learn about rockets and space, and so on. Definitely a cute one!
Starfall’s Letter R Activity : These great, flash, interactive activities are a wonderful and FREE resource, as well! The kids really enjoy them! The whole set is available in the Google Play store for Android, Amazon App Store or iTunes!

We hung the Letter R on the wall , to join A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q & T.
I hope you enjoyed! I look forward to sharing more!
