Also this activity will also need several alphabet charts at the table, and will need the plastic magnetic or non-magnetic alphabet letters. For the visual memory game the teacher will place the three letter manipulatives magnetic alphabet letters on a metal pan in sequence order and cover the tray with a cloth. The teacher will then remove one of the manipulative letters and will uncover the tray. The children will be asked to answer the question (Which letter is missing?). Lastly for the sequencing of the alphabet letters in alphabetical order the teacher will provide each of the students with one to two big foam alphabet letters. The students will then be instructed that they have to sequence the alphabet letters in alphabetical order. The teacher will use approximately fifteen to twenty minutes for each of the activities.

The teacher will pass out the name worksheet made on Microsoft Word for each student. The teacher will then distribute a tray of non- magnetic or magnetic alphabet letters to each of the tables in the classroom. The teacher will then project on the overhead a sample of the name worksheet. The teacher will then point to several random letters in the name asking the students (Is this the first letter in the name?). The teacher will then point the first letter on the name worksheet and will ask the students (Is this uppercase letter the first letter in the name?). The teacher will ask the students to find the first letter in their name and point to the letter. The teacher will then walk around the room to make sure the students have identified the uppercase letter as the first letter in their name. The teacher will then look for the uppercase letter by looking through the alphabet manipulatives placed on the trays. Once the teacher has found the correct letter the teacher will place the letter underneath the uppercase letter. The teacher will keep the worksheet projected on the overhead as a visual aid for students to look at. The teacher will then ask the students to find the letter of their first name by looking through the alphabet manipulatives placed on the trays at their table. The teacher will walk around the room to make sure the students have placed the correct letter in the
