These 8 1/2 by 11 inch letters can be used for "Making Words" activities in kindergarten. The vowels are printed on red cardstock and the consonants on white cardstock. Children sit in a circle and are each given a letter. The teacher can ask several students with letters to come to the front and make a word. The children take turns coming up to the front and changing a letter or two in the existing word to make different words. For example: change "cat" to "hat" to "hit" to"pit" to "fit" to "fin" to "fun" ...etc. To get copies of these letters, click on the picture. Fonts and sizes may need to be adjusted to accommodate different computers.
