ESL students particularly struggle with their letter sounds and grammar. These centers has a specific focus on letter sounds, formation and identification. So you will find that these centers will help reinforce letter identification with mainstream students as well. The activity above, students will roll the ‘bat’ die created for this activity and they will identify the letter shown on the die, find the picture that matches it and then color it in!

We then sorted through some real and nonsense bat facts.

I got my ESL students to work on their ABC order by cutting and pasting the bat pictures in order on their recording sheets.

We then rolled a die and identified the beginning sound, then the students traced the letters on their sheets.

 

My students loved this sentence sort, there are three levels in the center with the first one being the easiest (made for ESL students), they sort the words according to the picture on the card. They then re-arrange the words to make sentences.

The students then record their sentences on the recording sheet provided.

 

The fun bat letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ activity below, students will choose a card identify the name of the picture on the card and then find a bat with the initial sound letter and then trace it. This activity is free, so download it below at the end of this post.

The students also worked on their letter ‘c’ and ‘s’ sounds. Find this activity in the bundle here.

 

The activity below got ESL students to spin the spinner and then write it in the columns to make a chart. This is included in the freebie with this post so grab it below!

There are so many more activities included in the activity bundle. Have a GREAT October! 😉
