Alphabet Challenge • Palm Tree Literacy Set
Pick • Play • Challenge • Learn
Turn alphabet and early literacy practice into a playful challenge with the Alphabet Challenge set.
Created to encourage children to explore letters, words and language through hands-on play, this versatile resource offers a variety of literacy challenges that can be adapted to different ages and skill levels.
Choose a challenge stick, read the prompt and complete the activity. Children may be asked to identify letters, explore uppercase and lowercase, find vowels or consonants, build words, recognize letter patterns, or use their creativity to think of words and objects.
