Magnetic Letter Tip!

Using Magnetic letters on a cookie sheet is the PERFECT way to store those letters and use for a variety of learning experiences.   My top 5 favorite ways to use magnetic letters with learners are:

1.     The Name Game.  Have students spell names of family and friends.  After they make a name, mix up the letters and have them make it again several times!

2.     Alphabetical Order.  Use the upper and lower case letters.  Put them in alphabetical order.

3.     Match Your Favorite Book. Use favorite books to spell out the titles or favorite page.

4.     Rhyming Pairs.  Build several words and show your students how to change the first letter to make a new rhyming word.  Let them come up with their own!

5.     High Frequency Practice.  Students often, on their own, will spell out all the high frequency word wall words with their magnetic letter cookie tray!  I encourage them to put them in rows of one letter words, two letter words, three letter words, and so on.
