We love the idea of incorporating Play-Doh and phonics. What better way to practice familiar letter sounds than using this timeless play room favourite? Katelyn’s Learning Studio has written very detailed tips for preparing and doing this activity, as well as a whole host of different supplies you can use. Though it is specifically targeted for classroom use, you could easily integrate it into your day at home. This activity helps children understand that multiple letter come together to make a whole word. This activity works best when you choose letters or words at your child’s level. If you’re not sure what words to work on, try listening carefully as they sound out a letter or word to identify what they might have a hard time with. Dolch Sight words is a great list of site words specific to grade level you can use as a resource for your Play-Doh phonics.
