Letter E Hunt: Go on a letter E hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter E or have the letter E in their name. Can you find an egg, an envelope, or an eraser? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. This will help you recognize the letter E in everyday life!
Sound Match Game: Create a set of cards with pictures of objects that have the short or long E sound (like egg, elephant, eagle, and tree). Mix them up and play a matching game. When you find a match, say the word out loud and identify if it has the short or long E sound. This will help you practice listening for the different sounds of E.
Story Time with E: With a grown-up, read a short story or a picture book and listen for words with the letter E. Every time you hear a word with the short or long E sound, clap your hands or raise your hand. After the story, try to remember and say some of the words you heard. This will help you become a better listener and reader!
