Letter Getters for Language Development and Thinking Fun

Letter Getters for Language Development and Thinking Fun by Ted and Greta Rasmussen. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780936110202.

Each Letter Getters book includes 100 word challenges. Students complete sentences based on letter prompts. For "Its hard to look up a word in the dictionary when you dont know how … t s i" (to spell it). Or, "If you flip a coin and guess how it will land, youll be right about … h o t t" (half of the time). Doing Letter Getters can be a bit like eating popcorn. Its hard to stop once you get started. Heres how a Letter Getter Letters at the bottom of each activity page represent the first letters of words that finish a sentence that we have started. To be successful, a child must use the letter clues to finish the thought in a way that is both logical and grammatical. For "Its not polite to cough without … c y m." Obviously, "covering your mouth," not "cover your mouth," is the correct response. There are 100 challenges in the book, all of which foster language development and deductive thinking. And they are very fun to do. Each activity also includes a lively illustration. Put them on the wall or let students work through them independently. However you use them, childrens faces are sure to light up as they find the answers.
