Easter Literacy Center Activities

We just love these colorful literacy center activities Vanessa Levin of Pre-K Pages put together for Easter! From letter recognition and sight word identification to beginning letter sounds and reading simple sentences, there's something for everyone {and certainly enough to keep your preschoolers busy during the holiday!}. While we can't describe each and every center idea, here are a few highlights!

Easter Egg Sight Words

On Easter egg cutouts, use a marker to script new or review high frequency words and laminate the set. Place these in the center along with a small basket, egg coloring cup, etc. of plastic, foam, wooden, and/or magnetic letters and invite your students to spell the sight words out on the egg mats. Builds sight word recognition and fine motor skills. [Extension: Laminate larger sight word eggs to use as play dough mats.]

Easter Egg Beginning Sounds

Choose three beginning sounds to review/learn, scripting each one onto a blank index card {or cute cutout} and using the card to label an Easter basket. Collect several small items from around the classroom that start with the appropriate letters/sounds and place them into colorful plastic Easter eggs. Gather the eggs into a large basket, then invite your students to open and sort them into the proper 'sound basket'.
