Introduce your students to a tasty way to learn the alphabet while building early literacy foundations.
Use this ABC Foods book during whole group, small group, or individual instruction to support alphabet knowledge and phonological awareness, two important parts of emergent literacy. Read the book repeatedly so students have many opportunities to connect letters, sounds, and meaningful food vocabulary.
As you read each page, point to the letter, say the letter name, name the food, and emphasize the beginning sound when appropriate. For example: “P is for pizza. Pizza starts with /p/.” Talk briefly about the food and connect it to students’ own experiences with meals, snacks, cooking, or favorite foods.
Students can participate by finding the letter, matching it to a letter card, tracing it, listening for beginning sounds, sorting foods into categories, or comparing foods that start with the same sound. Keep expectations flexible so all students can participate through speaking, pointing, choosing, eye gaze, or AAC.
For AAC users, model simple words such as eat, like, more, food, same, and different. Students can also use their keyboard with word prediction to type the first one or two letters of the food word and watch to see whether the word or food icon appears in the predictor buttons. Use the search feature to explore and locate favorite foods within the AAC system.
