Alphabet Soup

Dylan and Hannah follow the
recipe for Alphabet soup.

Something delicious has been cooking in our dramatic play area this week- Alphabet Soup! The chefs have been referring to a recipe book and following the instructions to prepare the soup. Some children even developed their own recipes, such as, chocolate alphabet soup, fruit soup, and lemon alphabet soup. Using a recipe book in our dramatic play area provides a meaningful and real opportunity for children to interact with literacy during their play. While interacting with the wooden alphabet letters, children were identifying the upper case alphabet letters, finding their initials, and stringing letters together and asking teachers to sound their letter strings out. What a yummy way to develop our alphabet knowledge and interact with books!
