Build to Learn: Letter Masters Alphabet Club

Join this ongoing class for a chance to build your literacy skills as you learn to identify letters and their sounds with building bricks (such as Legos, Duplos, or Mega Brands). Each week of this course will explicitly teach one letter from the alphabet. Letter identification, sounds, and handwriting will be practiced through movement, song, peer interaction, games, and of course hands-on building! This class truly offers ways for all learning styles to make connections and grow. A building challenge will be presented at the end of each week for learners to complete and share the following week. 

For each class, learners will need a selection of building bricks, a building board/mat, and an optional provided handwriting page. If you are unable to print for any reason, a blank piece of paper works well. An optional printable activity will be provided for further practice after class. 

Letters will be introduced systematically throughout the duration of this class. Learners can join the fun at any point in this ongoing class. The order letters are introduced will benefit your learner in the following ways:
-Help to differentiate between letters that that sound or look similar (e.g., e/i, p/q).
-Learn sounds that are more-easily heard and produced early on (e.g., /z/, /m/).
-Begin with sounds of letters that can be used to build many words (e.g., t, n, a, r).

Upcoming classes will focus on the following letters:
