The children will tiptoe to a T as they recognize and name the uppercase letter T and the lowercase letter t.

Literacy Activities
Tiptoe to T

• Write the uppercase letter T and the lowercase letter t on a whiteboard, name the letters, and have the children write the T and t in the air with their fingers. 
• Make the large letter T with butcher paper and lay it on the floor in the middle of the room.
• Mix up the small letter cards and have the children choose a card one at a time.
• Help the children decide if the letter on the card is the uppercase letter T or lowercase letter t.
  • If the letter is a T or a t, have the children tiptoe to the large T on the floor and tap the T with the letter card.
  • If the letter is not a T or a t, place it in the discard pile.
  • If a child misidentifies a distractor letter as a T or a t, have him or her look at the T and t on the whiteboard and compare them to the letter he or she picked.
