Uppercase Letter Mats With Formation Guides – Foundation Font

Uppercase Letter Mats With Formation Guides – Foundation Font

These Uppercase Letter Mats (With Formation Guides) in Foundation Font are great for learning letter recognition and letter formation through play.

Features:

* All 26 uppercase letters

* NSW/ACT Foundation Font, but in many parts of Australia and New Zealand these letters are similar.

* One letter per page

* Black and white

Uses:

* Letter Formation Tracing Mat. Follow the guides from number 1 in the direction of the arrows to trace inside the letter. This helps children learn correct letter formation. Laminate or place in a dry erase pouch to use again and again with dry erase markers. Or children can trace straight onto the paper with pencils or markers. Doing “rainbow writing” is a great way to practise. For rainbow writing, children trace inside the letters several times, each time with a different color, which makes the letters “rainbow”.

* Play dough mat (laminate). Children place play dough inside the letters to to make its shape.

* Loose Parts Mat. Children place loose parts along the letters to help embed the shape in their memory.

* Craft Template: Children create an artwork eg. by drawing, painting inside the letter, pasting/gluing craft materials such as glitter, feathers, scrunched tissue paper etc.

* Phonics/Phonemic Awareness activities eg. Children cut and paste images onto the page that start with that letter (our Initial Sounds Picture Cards work well for this) or they could match the cards without pasting or use objects starting with that letter to match to the letter on the page.

* Letter Recognition Activities. Eg. Write a range of letters onto a sheet of dot stickers and children match and stick the right stickers onto the right letter. You could also do this as a lowercase to uppercase matching activity.
