  1. I do love using magnetic letters and have used some lowercase magnets and decided to create some printables to use as mats to place over cookie sheets and turn them into wonderful magnetic free choice activities. Magnetic letters are so versatile and no matter what level your child is at. Here are some benefits of using magnetic letters in class or homeschool program. The magnets in these magnetic letters give children a chance to manipulate the letter, explore the shape in a way other than just attempting to write it down. They feel the shapes instead of just seeing them. The trays are easy to switch out for different levels, it can be helpful in PreK and Kindergarten classes where ability is really widespread but children are starting to get self-conscious. Every child can move to every center because it’ easy to differentiate even with a parent volunteer who may not know how to differentiate an activity. Though you can certainly tell them to switch sheets for different groups. You can put your ideas into motion by creating more sheets that best fit your students or child. There are five developmental levels but just because this is thhe order. Though it doesn’t mean that your child’s development will folow this order. They may know sounds before being able to match up upper and lowercase letters. Don’t get hung up on the order, try to match your child’s interest first and foremost. Sorting alphabhet magnets might seem just like a math activity, but i’s surely much more than that! On the other hand, it’s an amazzing, hands on way to teach children about letters. When a child is asked to sort magnetic letters, it forces them to attend to the similarities and differences within the letters. This will make them take note that the ltters are not all the same. Even if they’re just focusing on the color of the letter, they will quickly learn that there are certain differences to be found. When looking at letters they’re grouped together in the same category, the child is likely to notice how the letters are the same color but different shapes. Their mind become used to assessing and comparing what the magnetic letters look like. This is a precursor for learning the individual letters and their distinct characteristics. When children sort magnetic letters, their descriptive language improve. Their teacher is giving them the language with which to describe letters. Having the language to express teh ways the letters are similar brings a new perspective to the process. It allows them a way to verbalize the observations they’re making while sorting. Do remember that soring letters can be done individually, in small groups, and as an entire class. Children can sort on their own or with an adult there to help. Asking questions and making comments ass the children complete this task can help providing them with language. It also helps their attention to the individual letters. For instance, you might make simple comments like, “I notice that the uppercase ‘B’ has two holes, but the lowercase ‘b’ only have one.” If you’re looking for the best set of magnetic letters, we sincerely recommend you to get the one from Joy Abc’s. It comes in a complete set of letters and numbers, made of safe materials for kids, and strong magnets so you can form some words on the fridge.
