Letter of the Week Set - Focus Wall pdf, Music, & Google Slides Pre-K TK Bundle

This is a bundle set for our Letter of the Week Focus Wall set AND the Google Slides/Powerpoint version for PreK or TK! It includes the files for the printable Letter of the Week Focus Wall Chart, plus the slides you can display in person or virtually. The audio files are included with the slides! All you have to do is click on the speaker icon to play the songs. Please understand that these are AUDIO, not VIDEO files. The music videos can be subscribed to or rented on HeidiSongs.tv.

Our Letter of the Week .pdf set of flashcards, mini posters, and questions was designed to be used on a Letter of the Week Focus Wall bulletin board on a pocket chart for daily review in Pre-K, TK, Kindergarten, or first grade. When teaching kids basic concepts such as shapes, telling them once is just not enough! Daily review and practice are the keys!

What's the difference between this Pre-K/TK set and the Kindergarten/first grade set? It's the MUSIC! See the individual descriptions and previews for more information.

A focus wall should be USEFUL! The purpose of any focus wall chart is to remind both the teacher and students of the concepts that the class is focusing on each day. Heidi always reviewed everything on the focus wall daily to make sure children learn. This constant, daily review and practice helps most children learn basic concepts, such as the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and sight words.

The Google Slides set included in this bundle is a digital version of our Letter of the Week Focus Wall! This allows you to project or display the content digitally rather than print it. This also gives you the option of changing up that daily practice a little bit to keep things fresh! But no matter how you deliver the content, it is important to give children daily practice in the identification and sounds of the letters of the alphabet.

The original focus wall product is printable and sized to fit on a pocket chart. However, the Google Slides version is designed to be used digitally and is a poor size for printing; the slides would be far too large to post in the classroom. Please note that the slides are NOT EDITABLE beyond the ability to skip one you do not wish to display.

Digital Slide Activities Include:

1. Say the letter name and sound
2. Sing the song for each letter.
3. Draw the letter in the air
4. Draw the letter on someone's back (or on anything)
5. Finger spell the letter
6. Do the “Alphabet Action” (such as “run” for the letter R, etc.)
7. Identify the beginning sound pictures and do an action for each one. (The kids help to generate ideas for the actions!)
8. Give a thumbs up or down for the target letter. (There are ten practice slides for each letter for this.)
9. Build the letter with manipulatives, such as cereal, pennies, blocks, etc.
10. Guess what? The teacher reads the riddle on the screen for a word with the target beginning sound, and the kids try to guess the word.

(Skipping a slide is easy if desired. You don't have to do EVERY slide every time.)
