Free Printable Placemats For Teaching Kids How To read - Easy ESL Games
When our students are just beginning to learn how to read we like to introduce the letters of the alphabet using a LEEP Placemat. The LEEP Alphabet placemats are a really effective tool for easing children int reading and building up a sense of familiarization with each letter.
Two of the most important aspects of reading are frequency and exposure. So using a LEEP Placemat opens up at least 3 opportunities per day to learn phonics; breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The Placemat is however in means confined to the table. It's a great tool for learning The ABC Song with Alphabet Sounds and playing any number of phonic related games.
The Details About LEEP Placemats:
- The feature all 26 LEEP Letters with pronunciation hints. ( A looks like an Apple)
- Some styles combine numbers, shapes and/or pictures.
- We recommend printing the LEEP Placemats on large paper (A3 size) and laminating them right away so that you can reuse them for years to come.
In this example we show you how you can use the LEEP Placemat to play "Where is it?" with learners from the ages of 1 and up. Because the child in the video is a baby, we've kept the game extremely simple and use a lot of positive re-enforcement.
