Go on an alphabet hunt
Being outdoors brings a perfect opportunity to embark on an adventure to find different letters of the alphabet! Our standing wooden alphabet is a fantastic resource to kickstart this activity. If you have progressed to phase 2 of your phonics scheme, encourage children to search for sounds they have learned and combine letters to identify digraphs.
