Preschool Letter G

We are back from our very long break! Let’s just say one of us (not me) was very keen to get back into it and kept nagging to do school work! And so, we started out Preschool LettWe are back from our very long break! One of us (not me!) was VERY keen to get back to schoolwork and kept asking to do more activities! So off we went with our Preschool Letter of the Week G!

Throughout this blog post, I have linked the resources I have used to either my Google Drive, my online store or another blog where I either got that particular download. You can access the downloads by clicking on the photos or links.

We kicked things off with a Letter G Beginning Sounds Basket. Filip excitedly pulled out each item as we named them together. That hamster-looking thing? It’s actually a g-g-g-guinea pig… not a hamster!

Preschool Letter G: Day 1

Beginning Sounds Activities

We explored our Alphabet Play Dough Mats , first finger-tracing the letters, then tracing with a whiteboard marker.

➡️ This activity gives children repeated practice forming uppercase and lowercase G correctly while saying its sound. Finger tracing also builds muscle memory for writing.

Filip completed a Letter Identification Worksheet using dot paints. He decided to use dot paints for the beginning sounds page as well. Letter g is available here, but if you’d like the complete unit, you can get it in my TpT store here!

➡️ These worksheets help children recognise the letter G and identify words that begin with the /g/ sound. Dot painting adds a fun fine motor component.

Learning to Read with CVC Words

This week was extra exciting because we started learning to read CVC words and Filip LOVED every moment!

We began with a little game using our CVC word slider cards. To set it up, I placed each slider card inside a letter-sized envelope. Filip slowly pulled the card out, saying each sound as it appeared. Once all three letters were revealed, he blended the sounds together and read the word. The best part? He got to check his answer by looking at the picture at the end! In this case, the word was “get”, and there was a picture of a girl “getting” eggs from hens so that “she can make eggs on toast for us!” My little man has such funny ideas!

➡️ This activity develops phoneme segmentation and blending skills, which are essential for early reading. It also adds a fun, interactive element that keeps kids excited to decode new words!

We also completed CVC puzzles using the same words from the word slider cards. To complete the puzzle, Filip had to put all three letters in the correct order. Once the word was built, the picture was revealed!

➡️ These puzzles reinforce letter-sound knowledge and blending skills while giving a fun visual reward when the word is completed.

Finally, we had some word building fun with letter tiles! I collected all the letters we needed for our 4 G words and arranged them in columns for beginning, middle, and ending sounds. I slowly sounded out each word, and Filip selected the correct tiles and placed them in the right spots. He had SO much fun with this activity!

➡️ Word building gives children hands-on practice with phoneme-grapheme mapping and spelling simple CVC words.

Preschool Letter G: Day 2

We started Day 2 with a Letter G Alphabet Maze. Filip loved following the path of uppercase and lowercase Gs to help the girl get to her gift!

➡️ This maze reinforces uppercase and lowercase letter recognition while helping children visually track letters in order.

Next, Filip completed a pre-writing practice sheet (From the Pond).

➡️ This page provides practice with early writing strokes, helping children develop pencil control and prepare for correct letter formation.

We also worked on our Preschool Letter of the Week G Number Puzzle.

➡️ This puzzle gives children practice with ordering numbers from 1 to 10 while revealing a fun picture that reinforces the letter G.

Filip then completed a Beginning Sounds Emergent Reader, which involved cutting, pasting, coloring, and reading together.

➡️ Emergent readers provide repeated exposure to the /g/ sound and help children build print awareness and early decoding skills.

We created a Letter G craft: G is for Grass and Glitter!

We ended Day 2 with more CVC Word Slider Card practice, which Filip kept asking to repeat!➡️ Slider cards encourage children to segment and blend sounds while making early reading fun and interactive.

Preschool Letter G: Day 3

We started Day 3 with finger tracing using a gel bag. To make a gel bag, fill a snap-lock bag with some hair gel and a few drops of food colouring, then mix together. We placed our Alphabet Play Dough Mats under the bag for correct letter formation.

➡️ Tracing letters while saying their sounds reinforces correct letter formation and phoneme association in a fun sensory way.

Filip then completed a Beginning Sounds Worksheet.

➡️ This worksheet reinforces sound-letter knowledge by helping children identify words that start with the /g/ sound.

He also worked on a Q-Tip Letter G page from 1plus1plus1equals1.

➡️ Q-tip painting is a fun way to strengthen fine motor skills while practising correct letter formation.

Next, Filip tried a new CVC worksheet. He traced each word while saying the sounds, then colored the pictures and cut and glued the letters in the correct order.

➡️ This activity combines decoding, handwriting, and spelling practice for simple CVC words.

We also played a Beginning Sounds File Folder Game together, which Filip loved!

➡️ Sorting pictures by beginning sounds builds phonemic awareness and sound-letter matching skills.

To finish Day 3, we completed a g-g-g-garden project using the adorable printables from Picklebums.

➡️ Craft projects like this connect letters to real words while encouraging creativity and fine motor skills.

And there you have it! Our Preschool Letter of the Week G is all done. From glitter crafts and gel bag tracing to CVC word building and sound games, this week was packed with hands-on fun and meaningful literacy learning. Filip had a blast, and I loved watching his confidence grow with each activity.
