Overview
The children will go on a journey to find the letter J as they recognize and name the uppercase letter J and the lowercase letter j.

Literacy Activities
J Journey

• Place the letter cards around the room.
• Write the uppercase letter J and the lowercase letter j on a whiteboard, name the letter, and have the children write the J and j in the air with their fingers.
• Teach the children the J Journey chant and the actions.
• Have the children look around the room for a J or a j letter card.
• When a child sees a J or a j letter card, have everyone say the chant and do the actions.
• Read the chant again, displaying it large enough for the children to see, and invite the children to underline or point to the uppercase letter J and lowercase j in the chant.

More Practice
