Lakeshore Classroom Magnetic Letters Kit 240 Piece Set New In Package

One of my favorite tools for teaching the alphabet is magnetic letters. They are so versatile and can be used in so many ways! The Magnetic Classroom Letter Set from Lakeshore Learning is a great addition to the classroom. Today, I’m excited to share 15 fun ways to use magnetic letters!

Before I get to the activities, I want to share a few things about the magnetic letter kit for the classroom.

1. I have to admit that before getting the magnetic letter kit for the classroom, my magnetic letters were a mess. I kept them all in a gallon storage bag and always had to sort through them to find the letters I needed. This kit organizes all the letters in a nice and sturdy cardboard box. The flap is a magnetic closure, which I think is a neat feature!

2. I always seem to need more letters than I have! No more because I have 240 small letters to use.

3. It’s no surprise that Lakeshore Learning has the highest quality products! I know these magnetic letters will last for many years!

Children learn alphabet letters at different rates. Most children need many different multi-sensory activities to learn the letters of the alphabet. These magnetic letters allow children to hold them, touch them, see their shape, etc. For those who learn best through physical contact, this is really helpful! You can use them to practice letter names, sounds and alphabet order

If you are working on word families, magnetic letters are also helpful! You can place them on a white board and practice learning different word families, like the at family in the picture below.

Practice spelling CVC words with the letters. CVC words are three-letter words that follow a consonant/vowel/consonant pattern. Some examples are the words ‘cat’, ‘chicken’ and ‘sit’. It would be great to practice on a magnetic board or refrigerator door.

You can use them to practice recognizing or spelling sight words. The use of letters helps spellers who have difficulty spelling. It’s a hands-on, tactile way to spell, and it’s important for kinesthetic learners!

For learners who like sensory play, create an ice digging activity with the letters. To do this, fill a bowl with water, place the letters of the alphabet in the water and then put it in the freezer overnight. The next day, let it thaw a little, then float the ice and put it on a tray. Ask your child to find ways to dig out the letters. Kids love this activity!

Add the magnetic letters to a sensory bin and go on a letter hunt. I like to dry beans, rice or oats for a simple sensory tin base.

Practice learning vowels and consonants by doing letter sorting. The Lakeshore learning letters have different colors for the two types of letters, which is helpful!

Learning Letters, 10 Practical Ways To Do It Right

Trace the letters on the back of a magnetic cookie sheet with Sharpie. Then have the children glue the letters to the corresponding letters on the cookie sheet.

Match the letters to the beginning sounds. For example, if you are working on the letter d, you can find items around the room that match that sound (door, table, plate, drum).

Use the letters to build the child’s name. Talk about how many consonants and vowels are in their name.

Place a sensory bin or a bowl of rice and bury the letters in the rice. Create a homemade fishing pole with a wooden dowel, wire and a magnet. So go fishing for letters!

Cvc Word Building Task Cards

To practice spelling simple words, place one letter in a plastic egg. Mix them up and ask the child to open the egg and spell a word!

Place the letters in a bucket of water. Use a net or slotted spoon to “fish” for letters. Once you “catch” one, practice recognizing the letter name and sound.

Teaching letter names and letter sounds is an essential component of reading. When children learn the alphabet at a young age, it lays a strong foundation for learning to read. I have four children aged five and under, and I was amazed at their abilities and desire to learn. As a former elementary school teacher with a master’s degree in language acquisition, I’ve always been fascinated by teaching and learning, but it wasn’t until I became a parent that I realized the true potential of a child’s mind.

If I could recommend one thing to anyone with young children, it would be to focus on teaching the ABCs. In my blog, Tips, Tricks and Resources for Teaching the ABCs, I described everything I did that worked for me and my kids (who are all very different). My eldest daughter Ruby is five years old and attends kindergarten; She reads fluently in the third grade. Benny Elliot is four years old, knows all the names of his letters and sounds, and reads basic words, phrases and repetitive text. My daughter Ophelia is 21 months old and knows all the names of her letters and sounds, can read memorized words and phrases and is starting to sound out words. For more details on how children really learn to read (hint: it’s not about getting started with phonics), check out my blog: How Children Really Learn to Read.

We’ve had the LeapFrog letter magnets on the fridge for almost as long as we’ve had kids. The styling has changed a bit since our original purchase, but the concept is the same. Basically, each capital letter corresponds to a player and when pushed say a little chant with the name of the letter and the sounds of the letter. There is also a small music button that will be activated, “the wheels on the bus” or “the alphabet song”. There’s also a volume control for loud or quiet play and an off switch (for when you just need some peace and quiet).

The other magnet letters I really like are Melissa and Doug’s wooden alphabet letters. The bold colors and simple design are fun for kids and easy to use as a teaching tool.

There are many different ways to use LeapFrog Letter magnets. Sometimes I like to arrange all the letters neatly on the fridge in alphabetical order for my kids to discover, but they never stay that way for long! My daughter Ophelia, who loves order and cleanliness, will play with each letter one at a time with patience and complexity. My son Elliott, on the other hand, who loves movement and chaos, will smash all the letters together, build them into towers or play them in some imaginative game.

Each method has advantages and is a reflection of their inner workings. As their mom, I love being a quiet observer as I notice their different ways of playing and think about how I can support their different learning styles. Just having educational toys available and allowing children to play with them however they choose is a huge advantage. The next step is to reinforce their learning along the way by verbalizing it
