Abstract Learning of Alphabets
-
Active Engagement: Children explore letters through hands-on activities like tracing sandpaper letters or forming letters with clay.
-
Multi-Sensory Approach: Use sight, touch, and sound by combining letter flashcards, textured letters, and phonics songs.
-
Real-Life Connection: Identify letters in everyday environments (on signs, labels, books) to reinforce recognition beyond the classroom.
-
Creative Expression: Encourage drawing letters with crayons, chalk, or finger paint to strengthen motor skills and memory.
-
Repetition in Play: Integrate letters into games like alphabet puzzles, letter hunts, or matching games to build familiarity through fun.
Latch Closing and Opening
-
Active Engagement: Children practice fine motor skills by opening and closing different types of latches on busy boards or activity walls.
-
Hands-On Exploration: Provide various latches (hook, sliding, bolt) for children to explore independently, building problem-solving skills.
-
Real-Life Application: Relate latch activities to everyday objects like doors, bags, and boxes to give practical context.
-
Confidence Building: Celebrate small successes as children master each type of latch, encouraging persistence and independence.
-
Sensory Feedback: The tactile and auditory response (the click or snap of a latch) reinforces learning through sensory input.
Colour Learning
-
Active Engagement: Children learn colors by sorting objects, mixing paints, and playing color-themed games.
-
Real-World Application: Identify colors in nature, clothing, and classroom materials to connect learning to their environment.
-
Multi-Sensory Approach: Engage senses by feeling colored fabrics, tasting colored fruits, and listening to color-themed songs.
-
Creative Exploration: Use art activities like coloring, sponge painting, or collage-making to experiment with colors.
-
Movement Integration: Play games like "Color Scavenger Hunt" or “Color Hop” to encourage movement while learning colors.
