Christmas Color-by-Letter: Idea #78

Kids love those color-by-number worksheets. It's fun for them to discover what the picture is when they have finished coloring all of the numbers. Since this blog focuses on literacy, I looked up color-by-letter worksheets, specifically Christmas themed ones. I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few fun ones. 

Here is my idea for what you can do with these color-by-letter worksheets to practice letter sounds:

1. Print off a color-by-letter Christmas page (or make your own!). I found this coloring page on the following website: http://www.reading-with-kids.com under 'Christmas'.

2. Cut off the part that shows what to color each letter on the page.

3. Your student must listen to you as you tell them how to color each letter. For example, you might say, "Color all of the letters that begin like reindeer, red" or "Color all of the letters that begin like bells, black". This way your student is thinking and practicing those letter sounds, not just following a worksheet. 

I hope you have success doing this simple activity with your student.
