ABC Twiggles Multi-Sensory ABC Letters Preschool Curriculum

ABC Twiggles recognizes that young children embrace many different learning styles. We believe that children learn best by doing, being fully engaged, and having fun. To match children's varying interests, abilities, and learning styles, ABC Twiggles has developed a multi-sensory approach to learning that promotes alphabetic knowledge, phonological awareness, book and print concepts, and vocabulary development. Research driven and aligned to state and national standards, ABC Twiggles is designed to help your children acquire the important skills they need to get them ready for the next step— to learn how to read.

Electronic Books
ABC Twiggles E-Books are the heart of the program. The bright colors and entertaining sound effects and music will make your children want to listen to or read these books over and over again. Children can choose to either listen to or read the story.

Interactive Story Book
In listening mode, each word is highlighted as it is read. In reading mode, children can read the story, or they can click the audio icon to hear the entire sentence or each word separately. Children can also play the Letter Game in which they find the targeted letter in the sentence.

Meet the Letter

Each letter of the alphabet has an associated puppet that can be used to help introduce the targeted letter, and which later can be placed in your ABC center for children to manipulate and play with. Accompanied by a scripted lesson that teaches the sound of the letter and words that begin with the letter, each letter is also connected to a Letter Chant, Letter Poster, and printables, which when used together address the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning modalities.

 

Letter Related Words

Poster
These colorful printable posters highlight words that begin with the targeted letter.

Flashcards
Flashcards can be printed in either black and white or color. Use them to reinforce recognition of any newly learned letter.

Beginning Sound Cut and Paste Worksheet
Children have to find, cut out, and paste pictures that begin with the same beginning sound as the learned letter.

 

See the Letter

In See the Letter, children use color and one-to-one correspondence to practice recognizing letters in isolation as well as in words. Each letter has puzzle worksheets, word wall cards, and a letter matching game.

 

Hear the Letter

Children learn the sound that each letter makes by listening to and repeating the Letter Chant, listening to and reading the Letter Booklet, singing a song that relates to each page of the booklet, and listening to a Tongue Twister that highlights the targeted letter.

 

Feel letter

Feel the Letter

Tactile learners learn best through hands-on experiences. In Feel the Letter, you'll find easy-to-make manipulatives that children can touch and feel to help reinforce letter-shape recognition.

 

Write the Letter

In Write the Letter, children develop pre-writing skills by tracing and writing letters, including both Block and D'Nealian.

 

Letter Book and Storybook Printables

Print black and white or color versions of the letter book and/or storybook to use in your ABC center or send home with children to read to family members.

 

Taste the Letter
What better way to reinforce the alphabet than by eating it. In Taste the Letter, you'll find fun-to-eat and tasty recipes, each with a list of ingredients, materials, and directions for each letter of the alphabet.

Movement
Your kinesthetic learners will especially benefit from the letter-related movement activities, rhymes, and songs that you will find in this section. Children can get the wiggles out as they learn the letters of the alphabet.

Literacy
Utilizing storybooks as a framework for providing highly stimulating experiences will help reinforce alphabetic concepts. Print-rich environments provide opportunities for children to see and use written language. In Literacy, you'll find letter-related theme and book suggestions with accompanying activities, such as crafts, recipes, and songs and rhymes.
