My preschooler is starting to play around with spoken words more. We are focusing on learning letters sounds and blending sounds together to make words during our short car trips. This quick and easy AT word family hat activity takes the phonemic awareness game to a phonics activity using note cards and a hat.
Quick and Easy AT Word Family Hat Activity
Directions for At Word Family Hat Activity:
For children learning their letter sounds, skip the word family card. Just draw the letter cards out of the hat and say the name.
Book Connections for Preschool Hat Theme
Books are always a great way to develop an expansive vocabulary, work on reading comprehension, and story re-telling skills. Here are some of our favorite picture books all about HATS! Encourage your child to look at the words in each book and find a word HAT in the text.
Have an advanced reader? Encourage them to keep a tally chart for the amount of times the word hat appears in the book. Compare the word counts between 2 books!
