Using Do-a-Dot Printables for Thanksgiving

These Thanksgiving Do-a-Dot Printables have capital letters inside each dot. You can simply allow your child to dab regardless of the alphabet, or you can use it to build this important academic skill.

Toddlers

Use the Do-a-Dot Thanksgiving Printables to expose your child to the alphabet. You can casually mention the letters as your child dots then.

Preschoolers

Did you know that preschoolers who know letter names are more likely to be strong readers? Research shows that they only need to know about 18 capital letters and 15 lowercase letters to get the benefit.

So the Thanksgiving Do-a-Dot Printables are a great way to practice letter names. You can say a letter name to your preschooler and have them dot the letter.

Or if your child already has alphabet knowledge, you can let them name the letters as they dab them. The Thanksgiving Dot Marker Pages are a great way to easily practice this skill.

Kindergarten

Once your child is in kindergarten, learning the most common letter sound is important. Letter sounds knowledge is a strong predictor of reading success in kindergarten students.

If you’re uncertain about the best sound to use for each letter, check out the free Alphabet Phonics Sounds Chart.

You can use with your child like this:

  • Adult: What letter spells the /k/ sound like cat?
  • Child: C!
  • Adult: Great, dot the letter C.

Each of the printables has a different range of letters on it.

First grade

The Thanksgiving Dot Pages are great for practicing phonemic awareness skills with first-grade and older students.

Isolating, or separating out one sound, is an important reading skill. So you can practice phonemic awareness like this with your child:

  • Adult: What sound do you hear at the beginning of the word “plum?”
  • Child: /p/
  • Adult: Dab the letter that spells the sound /p/.

For vowel sounds, give words with the middle sound representing the vowel:

  • Adult: What sound do you here in the middle of the word “bit?”
  • Child: /i/
  • Adult: Dab the letter that spells the sound /i/.

  • K
  • L
  • M

When practicing phonemic awareness with your child, you could say:

  • Dot the letter that spells the first sound in the word jam? (answer: j)
  • Fill in the circle that has the letter that spells the last sounds in the word bike? (answer: k)
  • What’s the middle sound in pot? (answer: o)

Pumpkin Pie Dab and Dot Marker Worksheet

The free Pumpkin Pie Dot worksheet comes in color and black and white.

Another fun way to use these Thanksgiving Dot Marker Printables is to match lowercase letters to the capital letters.

Use dot stickers to write the lowercase letters. Then your child will place the sticker on its corresponding capital letter.
