Resources to make movement fun and engaging!
Connecting action with learning concepts is one of the most effective ways to learn new information. The Alphabet Fun Printables are designed to go with the Alphabet Freeze Dance Videos on my YouTube Channel. The vocabulary words on each page are the same one used in each video. Here is how to use the printables:
Click on one of the Freeze Dance Video hyperlinks below and complete the video.
Then, use the corresponding printable to practice the letter and writing the vocabulary words.
Learning to recognize, name, and write letters of the alphabet starts with large letters. Starting with tracing and drawing large letters helps to improve shoulder stability and motor learning for letter creation.
Be sure to check out the Follow Along Alphabet Freeze Dance Videos for more Alphabet Fun! Click Here for the Playlist.
Let’s practice writing capitol and lowercase letter As along with the 5 vocabulary words that start with A. These words are part of the Letter A Freeze Dance video on YouTube.
Combining movement and learning activities is a perfect match.
Grab the Alphabet Series that goes with all of the videos in the series on YouTube here.
