Moxie’s Letter Craft ~ Lowercase Letter /a/
 
Make early literacy hands-on, meaningful, and fun with Moxie’s Lowercase Letter /a/ Craft! This engaging activity introduces children to the shape of the lowercase “a” while also building phonemic awareness of the beginning /a/ sound (short a sound, as in apple).
 
Designed especially for preschoolers, this craft supports young learners as they begin recognizing letters and connecting them to their sounds — all through creativity and play.
 
🌱 Part of the FREE Rooted In Reading Program
 
This craft is designed to go along with the FREE Rooted In Reading Program, making it easy for parents and educators to extend learning beyond the lesson.
 
Use the craft as a hands-on reinforcement tool after completing the /a/ sound activities in the reading program. It helps children visually, physically, and verbally connect the letter name, letter shape, and beginning sound.

1 Lowercase “a” Alphabet Craft Base
1 Paper Stem

Each piece is thoughtfully prepared to make assembly simple and developmentally appropriate for little hands.
 
🔊 Phonemic Awareness Focus:
As children build their lowercase “a” craft, they practice hearing and identifying the beginning /a/ sound (short a, as in apple).
 
You can extend learning by asking:
“What sound does apple start with?”
“Can you think of another word that starts with /a/?”
“Let’s say the /a/ sound together!”
 
This intentional sound practice strengthens early reading readiness skills in a playful, supportive way.
