Alphabet Clip Cards for Letter Recognition

Preschool-aged kids are all about hands-on activities. That is why I like to incorporation these types of letter-recognition activities into our units and for our little ones to do during homeschool hours.

While this activity builds fine-motor skills, it also teaches kids basic matching and letter recognition. 

Furthermore, I paired some of the more common letter-confusions together, so they can learn to differentiate. For example o and c OR d and b. As my kids come across these ones, we talk about how to tell them apart.

How we use this resource

Before we begin, we review the alphabet and its sounds using our simple alphabet chart (which is included in this resource.)  

Then, I give the alphabet match clip cards and a clothespin to my daughter. She says the letter name that is in the middle of the pumpkin then puts her clothespin on the matching letter. 

After that, I have her say the sound of the letter outloud and put her clothespin on the letter with the same sounds.

Simple as that.

This activity can last anywhere from ten to thirty minutes it just depends on the day. Some days we’ll switch things up. We will take turns, keep score, or work towards a fun treat. Either way, we have found this activity to really help enforce letter recognition and sounds.

Note: A lightweight chip clip can be used with a clothespin is too difficult for your kids to use.
