Turn letter recognition into a game with these hands-on Alphabet Peek-A-Boo Envelopes! Students look through the “garbage can” window and try to guess which letter is hiding inside. Then, they pull it out to check if they were right—peek-a-boo! It’s a hands-on way to build letter identification and beginning sound awareness, and it pairs perfectly with the book I Stink! by Jim & Kate McMullan.
