Letter K Do A Dot

Recognise the capital letter K in a large bubble-letter form

Connect the letter K to six words that begin with it - kangaroo, key, koala, king, kite and kiwi

Place a mark accurately inside a small printed circle using a dot marker, a sticker or a crayon

Fill only the circles that match a letter, number or shape the adult has written in, when the cover's third suggestion is used

Three-quarter-inch Avery circle stickers are named on the cover as an alternative to markers, which suits a child still building the grip strength a dot marker needs

Writing a target letter, number or shape into some circles and leaving others blank converts a finished-looking page into a discrimination task, so one print can serve twice

Name each picture aloud as the child works - kangaroo, key, koala, king, kite, kiwi - since the initial sound is the only thing the six subjects have in common

The bubble-letter page makes a natural first sheet and the six picture pages follow in any order, so a single page can fill a short morning slot without committing to the whole packet

Letter recognition - a full-page bubble-letter K and six K-initial pictures hold the target letter in view across every page of the packet.

Initial-sound vocabulary - each page is labelled kangaroo, key, koala, king, kite or kiwi, giving the adult six words to name as the child dots.

Fine-motor control - filling a printed circle with a dot marker, a crayon or a three-quarter-inch sticker asks the child to place a mark inside a small bounded shape.

Visual discrimination, when the teacher sets it up - the cover's suggestion of writing letters, numbers or shapes into the circles has the child fill only the matching ones.
