Exercise Students’ Brains (and Fingers) with our Interactive Alphabet Game

Make learning the ABCs as easy as 1-2-3…

…or as easy as drag and drop! 

This alphabet sorting activity engages Kindergarten-Grade 1 readers when practicing letter-sound identification. 

To play, students work their way through each letter of the alphabet, clicking and dragging items that begin with each letter sound. 

Students will show they understand one-to-one letter-sound correspondences through this activity while simultaneously working on dexterity and computer skills!

Scaffolding + Extension Tips 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your phonological awareness lessons. 

In addition to individual student work time, use this CVC word-building game to enhance learning through guided reading groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments. 

For groups with a mixture of above and below-level learners and ELL/ESL students, we have a few suggestions for keeping readers on track: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

For students needing fewer choices to sort from, delete an image or two from each slide before assigning.

Embed pre-recorded words into each slide and prompt students to listen to the beginning sounds for each.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Encourage students to identify the letter sound for each word not sorted onto the letter slide.

🧑‍🏫 Class Activity

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class using choral responses, or have students come up to move the words into the boxes.
