Take photos of businesses or landmarks in your community such as the laundromat or the grocery store. You can also go online and find store logos. Use the signs to make an alphabet poster. Cut out the “A” from Allen's Hardware or the “M” from Macy's. Display the poster and challenge children to identify where the letters are located. Leave this poster displayed for several weeks until all the letters are identified. You might also take a photo of the poster and send home with children so they can watch for the letters as they walk and drive around the neighborhood. This could be done in large group.
