More Practice
Find the target letter
- Display the E letter-finding page and have the children find and circle the E letters.
- Have the children say, “I found an E!”
- If a child misidentifies a distractor letter as the letter E, have the child compare the letter to the E on the whiteboard.
- Once the children have found all of the Es, have them make the Es elegant by coloring them.
Write Es
- Give the children the letter-writing practice page (see below).
