Alphabet: Sensory Letter Writing Practice (Ages 3-4)

In this ongoing class we will tackle a letter a day the sensory way!

Adding touch and unique sensation is an excellent and exciting way to master the alphabet! Sensory learning engages multiple areas of the brain at once. With sensory alphabet practice students see, say, feel, and create each letter. 

Each class we will learn and practice the shape, sound, and associated words for a specific letter. We will take turns repeating, chanting, and saying every letter. We will practice writing the big and little version of each letter using a different sensory method in every class. Sensory methods are listed for each letter below and will be listed with preclass instructions if needed each week. Sensory methods repeat halfway through the alphabet. A tracing template will be provided for each letter. It is not required for class but it is available for your learner's use if desired.
