Phonics Letter E Activities

Time to start thinking of awesome letter E activities! Here are a few ideas I'm coming up with off the top of my head, and I'm sure you can come up with your own creative ways. (Let us know yours all the way down the page in the comments).

How about:

Doing a mini-study on letter E animals? (Elephants, Eagles, Emus), and then taking the kids to the zoo to explore and see the animals up close?

Cooking or baking a Letter E snack or meal? (Eggs, Eggplant parmesan, Enchiladas, Eggrolls, Edamame)

or even

Explore the World for the Letter E? Take pictures with your phone, print out, then make a Letter E page. You can search for things like an envelope, someone's ears or eyes, the number eleven, an eraser, an elevator (or escalator), anything that is empty, or even a place to go out to eat! I'm sure you can come up with many more.

Here's a quick Letter E Craft I found for you on YouTube you can do with very little prep:

Things that start with letter E for preschool

For Letter recognition of the Letter E, make sure you have examples of the Letter E all around your home or classroom.

I've already mentioned quite a few above. You can print out pictures of all these items and put them up all around as you teach the letter.

You can also specifically have your children pick out things that start with the Letter E so that they are recognizing it for themselves.

Here are a few more: Earplugs, Earmuffs, Earth, Earthworm, Electricity, Elmer's Glue

Show and tell letter E

Do you guys still do show and tell in your classrooms? I know it can be interrupting to all the many things that need to be done in a school day.

BUT don't you remember how much fun it was for you as a child? It's a gift to kids to be able to bring something meaningful from home.

So, be specific and ask your kids to bring something for show and tell as you are teaching the Letter E. You can do this for whatever letters you like!

Letter E Books

A trip to the library to grab some Letter E books will GREATLY benefit your little E learner!

It's an excuse to get some wonderful reading in, and some read-aloud time taken care of.
