Daily Practice
Note: It is important to remember that children learn by repetition! Repeating the same name page or video is key for teaching preschoolers. We may get bored with it, but they love it and will learn from the repetition. These Daily Practice resources can even be extended for use all week long, not just school days!

▸ Activity #1 – ABC Bingo
▸ Activity #2 – Part Part Whole Using a 10 Frame
Print out the “10 Frame” PDF. Use two different items (or two different colored items) to fill in the ten frame. (You can print and cut squares from the attached PDF or choose different items from your home) Make sure to fill in the tens frame in order from left to right, beginning on the top and moving to the bottom row (again starting at the left and moving right).
Your ten frame could look something like this:
Remind your child that we have 10 items on our 10 frame. 10 is our Whole.
- How many red circles do we have? (4) Four is one part of our whole.
- How many blue circles do we have (6) Six is one part of our whole.
Continue with different combinations to make 10 (5 and 5, 3 and 7, 8 and 2, 1 and 9)
▸ Activity #3 – Little Red Riding Hood
If you were unable to make our Monday Zoom Book Reading, Read or retell the story of Little Red Riding Hood. What makes this story a Fairy Tale? Do you remember what things make a story a fairy tale? (a fairy tale has to contain just one of these things to be considered a fairy tale).
- It has magic
- It contains magical creatures (like Fairies)
- It has talking animals.
Print out the “Little Red Riding Hood Character Sort” and “Characters Story” PDFs. Have your child cut out the characters from the first page. Then use the “Characters Story” PDF to sort the characters into “characters FROM Little Red Riding Hood” and “characters not from Little Red Riding Hood”. Paste the pictures.

▸ Activity #1- Phonics Review – same activity as last week, but with different sounds
**NOTE: If your child is not ready to write letters yet (which is TOTALLY OK!), look at the second page of the “Initial Write In Animals” worksheet. Follow the same steps below, but have your child circle the correct letter instead of writing it.
Print the “Initial Write In Animals” worksheet. Say the name of the picture, (you may need to emphasize the first sound in the word). Ask the child, “What is the first sound you hear?” Discuss what letter makes that sound, what it is called, and what it looks like (you may need to write it for them on a white board or different paper).
Example:
What animal do you see? (answer: dog)
Dog! Right. /d/ /d/ /d/ dog.
What sound do you hear when I say /d/ /d/ /d/ dog? (answer: /d/ /d/ – they should not say the letter name, but the sound the letter makes)
What letter says /d/ /d/? (Answer: d)
What does a ‘d’ look like? How do we write a d? (Feel free to write the letter on a different paper (white board or chalk board) for them to see. Drawing specific attention to the way you are forming the letter.)
▸ Activity #2 – Using a Ten Frame to Complete a Number Bond
▸ Activity #3 – Fairy Tales
*Don’t forget that we will be reading Jack and the Beanstalk on Zoom at Noon*
Print the “Beanstalk Letters” PDF. Color the leaves on the beanstalk that show the Capital and Lowercase letter. Do not color the leaves with letters that do not match.

▸ Activity #1 – Writing Letters – same activity as last week, but with different sounds
Practice Writing the letters Pp Ii Ll and Rr. Trace the letter on the left and write the letter on your own on line right.
Challenge: What words can you make with these letters? This may take a lot of guidance from parents.
Have them stretch each sound of the word.
Example: /l/ /i/ /p/
What letter says /l/? – write the letter
What letter says /i/?- write the letter
What letter says /p/? – write the letter
▸ Activity #2- Using number bonds to see the Parts of 10
Print the “10 Frame Number Bonds” PDF. Look at the 10 Frame. Remind your child that 10 is the Whole. Look at the parts (the red dots and the blue dots). How many red dots do you see? How many blue? Put the number of each part in the number bond.
NOTE: The emphasis of this activity should not be writing the numbers. If your child is struggling with the writing part, feel free to write it for them! The emphasis should be that they are able to find the two parts of the whole number.
