Letterland Canada

I’m so happy to introduce this forum to both give ideas, and to encourage sharing from other teachers and those who work with children. When I first started using Letterland, at Shoreham Public School here in Toronto, I was one of five Kindergarten teachers (teaching 250 children!) and we were so lucky to have each other to brainstorm with and give one another ideas. Now I’m often asked for suggestions from teachers who are using Letterland but who are not necessarily working with other teachers at their school (perhaps they work at a small school with only one Kindergarten, or are the only teacher using Letterland at their school..).

I’m starting with ideas for craft activities, but welcome your topic suggestions for further discussions.

So for now, each week I will be adding ideas for arts and crafts activities and hope that you will feel free to write in and add your own ideas as well. My intention is to give the ideas a week or two before you will be studying a character. I’ll be going in alphabetical order, and since it’s November already (how did THAT happen?!) and most teachers I’ve spoken with did not start using Letterland until the end of September, I will start by giving ideas for the first 9 characters.
