This is the L page. L is a letter. Do you know: L words? L names? L sounds? Have you ever seen a lizard?

Activity

Look and Learn

This is a shape page. This shape is a cross.

Let’s find Ls on this page. Look. There’s a lizard. Lizard starts with L. Is a lizard an animal or a person? Where do lizards live? What do lizards have?

Look and Learn

Look at the pictures and name them together: cross, window, scarecrow, kite, cross. Then say together: This is a cross. The window has a cross; the scarecrow has a cross, etc. This strategy helps children learn words and left-to-right reading. The window has something else—a lizard.

Color and Draw

Let’s color the lizard. Show pictures. Lizards can be any color. They can have spots or stripes.

Draw rocks or grass for the lizard too. Demonstrate. The lizard needs a tongue!

Trace, Color, and Draw Crosses

Trace and Write L

Demonstrate how to draw a cross: Little line down, little line across. Trace the first cross together.

Children put their crayons on the arrow, little line down, little line across. Children trace, color, and draw as they like.

Finger trace the L at the top of the page. (Say directions.)
