Letter of the week is one of my favorite classroom activities. I follow the scope and sequence of our Kindergarten curriculum to introduce letters in our classroom.Our first activity of the week is to create an anchor chart of words that start with our new letter. I made this an errorless activity in my classroom by making all of the choices words that start with the target letter.The activity was a hit in the classroom and my students were very confident in their responses. As we move further into the year, we'll add some pictures that do not match the sound of our target letter, too!bit.ly/YAKletteranchorcharts ... See MoreSee Less
