Today, we are going to have fun learning about the letter R. Are you ready? Let’s go!
First, let’s learn how to write a big R. Take your pencil and start at the top. Draw a straight line down. Now, go back to the top and make a round curve to the middle. Finally, make a slanted line down to the bottom. Yay! You just wrote a big R!
Now, let’s try writing a small r. Start in the middle and draw a straight line down. Then, go back to the middle and make a little curve to the right. Great job! You wrote a small r!
Did you know that R is the first letter in words like rabbit, rainbow, and rocket? Can you think of any other words that start with R?
Let’s sing a little song to help us remember the letter R:
“R is for rabbit, hopping around,
R is for rainbow, colors all around,
R is for rocket, zooming to the sky,
R is for R, let’s give it a try!”
Great work today! Keep practicing your letters, and soon you’ll be an expert at writing the letter R.
R Hunt: Go on a letter R hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter R, like a rug, ruler, or red apple. Can you find at least five things? Draw a picture of each item you find and practice writing the word next to it.
Rainbow Art: Create a rainbow using different materials like colored paper, crayons, or paint. As you make your rainbow, say the colors out loud and remember that rainbow starts with R! Once your rainbow is complete, write the word “rainbow” at the top of your artwork.
Rocket Launch: Make a simple paper rocket. Decorate it with the letter R and other fun designs. Once your rocket is ready, have a pretend rocket launch. Count down from 5 and shout “R is for Rocket!” as you launch it into the air. How high can your rocket go?
