Show and Tell: Idea #22

Most people enjoy sharing things about themselves. That is why kids love Show and Tell. Pick a day you would like to have Show and Tell with your student. Tell them that they must bring in something that begins with the letter sound that they struggle with. For example, if they have difficulty with the letter t, have them bring in something from home that begins with t. They could even bring in more than one! 

Show and Tell allows students to make a home-school connection. They bring in their pet turtle from home and are learning about the t sound in class. Now every time they see their turtle at home, they think of Show and Tell at school. This causes them to be constantly reminded of the letter sound!

The kids in my classes enjoyed Show and Tell so much that we usually had it on Fun Friday. Each student was always so eager to share and proud of what they brought in. This is a great way to get your students excited about learning their letter sounds.
