Show and Tell Ideas for Every Letter
Show and Tell Ideas for every single letter? Yes, you are in the right place! No parent wants to be scrambling around last minute helping their child look for something to bring for show and tell!
If you are the parent of a preschool child and you are wondering what exactly your child needs to know before heading to Kindergarten; I have something just for you! The Preschool Skills Checklist looks at six areas of development and provides a detailed list of skills to focus on. Join the other parents using this checklist to guide their preschooler’s learning. The checklist is totally free and looks at your whole child’s development, not just academic skills! So, what are you waiting for? Grab the Preschool Skills Checklist now and target what skills your child needs today!
Thought show and tell was a thing of the past? Think again! Show and Tell was one of my favorite parts of teaching Kindergarten. Every Friday was Show and Tell, but of course we made it educational too! Each week show and tell corresponded to the letter we were learning. Students would bring an item from home that started with that letter and then we would use the experience as part of our writing workshop lesson.
Show and Tell Tips:
- Don’t send anything valuable, irreplaceable, fragile or dangerous to school.
- Make sure your child is able to tell about the object they are bringing for show and tell.
- Plan ahead. Nothing is more stressful that running around your house at 7:10 a.m. before the bus arrives trying to find something that starts with the letter z on a whim. Remember, this is a fun activity that is meant to enhance your child’s learning!
- Involve your child. Let them choose what object they want to show and tell! They are the ones learning the alphabet after all!
Show and Tell in the Classroom
Are you a teacher planning show and tell for your classroom? Check out this post on how to use show and tell to teach phonics and this printable Alphabet Show and Tell Journal.
Show and Tell Alphabet Ideas
Now before we get started, I totally understand that a few of the Show and Tell ideas below can’t really be brought to school.
For example, under the letter Q I have the word quarterback. I know that you probably can’t track down your favorite quarterback and fit him in your child’s backpack. If you can, feel free to send Dak Prescott my way! But maybe you have a jersey of your favorite quarterback, or a trading card or picture of a quarterback, or an autograph from a quarterback…
Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and encourage your child to be creative! There are also a lot of objects on the list that you probably have around the house in a picture, toy, or stuffed form!

Hello. My name is Ekaterina Lukyanova, I am the author of the Polish language blog ProPolski.com and the website about Poland insidePL.com. I live in Poland. When I am free from my main job, I devote all my time to ProPolski.com and insidePL.com.

It seems to me, or should all languages be taught from the alphabet? Of course, you can just by ear, repeat phrases and words after native speakers, but this definitely needs an environment and more time. I propose a faster and not necessarily medium-needed way - the Polish alphabet for beginners and even with transcription!
Read also: Read in Polish? Easy peasy!
There is a huge amount of material on the net about the Polish alphabet for beginners, this is probably the best described and told topic.
But in almost any explanation, I was always missing something. So today is the time for the alphabet in ProPolski's explanation. 🙂 I'll try to tell you everything I know. 🙂
Polish alphabet
Źródło: https://mumme.pl/produkt/plansze-alfabet-pelny-i-dwuznaki-z-komentarzem-dydaktycznym/?v=9b7d173b068dThe Polish alphabet has 32 letters available: a, ą, b, c, ć, d, e, ę, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, ł, m, n, ń, o , ó, p, r, s, ś, t, u, w, y, z, ź, ż . And some more letter combinations: sz, cz, rz, ch, dz, dż, dź .
The Polish alphabet lacks the letters Q, V and X , but that doesn't mean you won't find them. They can come across in words of foreign (non-Polish) origin, most often in proper names. For example, V is constantly found in our first and last names in passports. Or borrowed words like taxi (this is the colloquial form of Polish taksówka), video (there is also wideo, both forms are correct), quiz, etc.
Regarding transcription: I am its ardent opponent. 🙂 Wait a minute throwing slippers. Why transcription is needed in English - I understand that. Indeed, there the letter “a” can be read in several different ways, depending on the position in the word, closed or open syllable, letter combinations, diphthongs, and who knows what else (philologists let them correct). 😉 Polish doesn't have all that. I see "a" - I read [a]. I see "o" - I read [o]. Etc :). Do you know why? Because the Polish language is a mixture of the Latin alphabet and the Slavic language! Roughly speaking, Slavic (our) sounds are described in Latin letters. There are some simplifications of sounds, they are all practically “ours” - for example, when a voiceless consonant deafens the voiced one following it, and the like.
If you are learning Polish from a philological point of view, you may not like my explanation, as there are indeed nuances of simplification and distortion of sounds depending on many factors.
But not for philologists, they can be neglected for the time being.
That is why transcription (as it seems to me) is simply not needed here. But since there is a constant demand for it, I will still add it to the alphabet plate, but I will continue to show how to manage without this transcription. I will give only where I would like to read out loud, but so far there is no such possibility.
Start with a general simplified table, all comments after it.
Polish alphabet for beginners, with transcription
| Polish letter name | Russian letter name | Trans. in Russian | Examples | How to read Russian. | Yak chitati Ukrainian. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A | a | /a/ | /a/ | [a] Transcription to the Polish alphabet (claims) I specifically wrote that the transcription is approximate, because it is so. The letter Ł added two transcriptions due to the complete absence of this sound in the Russian and Ukrainian alphabets. But it is in Belarusian! Oh - it's her! Belarusians (again in Belarusian), you are great! Indeed, in 2003, in honor of the letter ў (“u is short”, “u is not syllabic” in Belarusian - “u is not syllabic”) a monument was erected in the city of Polotsk! But for me, as a non-speaking Belarusian, English [w] is close. You just need to pronounce it correctly! (Watson is not Watson, but Watson! 🙂 ) But over time, I got used to the Belarusian [ў], and now I use it if I do transcription somewhere. Therefore, in the plate - it is with her. For me, if I really have to, it is much more convenient to additionally use Ukrainian characters for transcriptions: for example, źle - [zhlє], imię - [imє], będzie - [banjє], it seems more visible, stronger. Why do we need the names of Polish lettersAnd they are needed, believe me. Come do przychodni (to the polyclinic). And there you are met by a very ambitious young lady, who is sure that she will write your name and surname without peeping into your document. And it starts: Katharina? Catherine? Spell it! Or, for example, you definitely need to know the name of the letter V - [fau], since we have a lot of it in the transliteration of our names and surnames. Lukianova, at least. I can count on the fingers of one hand the Poles who correctly wrote off my last name from the documents. For the most part, they write Lukianowa. And I know that I have to keep an eye on this and yell at the right time: “Przez V!” — [wow!] In addition to the first and last name, you may need the names of the letters when talking about the university buildings (a, be, tse, de, ef, ge), about the route number (en, ka buses), when just something to someone will have to dictate (you never know).
Why do some letters of the Polish alphabet have several namesI added several names to some letters. This was also motivated by the Poles. 🙂 Did you notice that there are two sounds [y] in the Polish alphabet? They need to be somehow distinguished when we talk about this or that letter ( u or ó ). You can talk [u] and [about kreskovane], or you can - as the Poles often say - [u otvarte] and [u zaknente], that is, open and closed [u]. As for me, it is more logical and easier. These letter names are worth noting. wuvuvu/.google.com. But with wi-fi it doesn’t work like that - in Polish wi-fi is read / wi-fi /. 🙂j is /yot/, forget about /jay/ at all. It is the same with g - /ge/ ge/. And from y - /game/. You need to know the names of the letters 🙂 Large and small letters of the Polish alphabet All letters except ą, ę, ń may also be needed in their capital form. EmphasisHighlighted in red. And I won’t mention it here anymore, since I have already written a whole article about stress in Polish. I continue to analyze the alphabet of the Polish language
L, ŁAs for the letters L and Ł :
Watch this video about the letters ł l, there are many examples. The letter iThe letter i is, of course, [and]. But not only. It remains a sound [and] in all cases when it is followed by either a consonant, or when it itself is at the beginning or end of a word: igła [igўa], nogi [legs], plik [plik]. And if after i there is a vowel, then it becomes something like our soft sign, only not short, but long, such a softening element. And, like our soft sign, in such a situation we0003 i are not subtractable. If you are a beginner, then you can ignore the nuances and start reading as if i softens the previous consonant, but does not read itself: piosenka [dog], wiatr [vyatr], biały [byaўy], wiadro [wyadro], pióro [puro]. And if you are continuing, then you can take into account some phonetic nuances, namely, the easy pronunciation of [th] in biały [byaўy]. And also miasto [myasto], fiasko [fiasco], wiadro [vyadro] and many other words where i is after t, d, p, b, m, f, w, l, r, dż, h (ch), cz, sz, ż (rz) and BEFORE a vowel. But from my experience, you can start with just soft reading, and this hard reading will come with time, you just start hearing it at some point. But it is not necessary to follow my experience 🙂 soft hissing -ź, ś, ech, ść, dź
These letters do not have direct correspondences in Russian (the letter ć is closest to “h”, since it is soft in Russian). In addition, , if you are confused by this equal sign =zi, etc., then I’ll explain now. You read about the letter i and its magical emollient properties just above, didn't you? He really softens everything around . And the letters s, z, c, dz too. Only she will soften them with hissing , so that “zi” is the same hissing soft sound as “ź”, only longer. I know that everyone loves tablets, I love them too, so let me create another tablet with all possible combinations with the vowels of these letters.
|
The same [ch] is not our ch, or ą ę have no analogues at all. But most of the letters still have a "Slavic" pronunciation, which means they are very close or almost identical to Russian (Ukrainian, Belarusian) sounds. 
Not a single word begins with ą, ę, ń. 
Who is from Belarus (this is in Belarusian) - that sound [Ў] . Whoever is neither English nor Belarusian - the mechanism of pronunciation of a letter does not involve either teeth, or tongue, or palate. Lips in a "hard-sluggish tube" + sound. The tongue does not participate, does not touch the palate! The teeth do not hit the lips (so as not to accidentally move into [v/f]. 
The rest - soften on the verge of a foul . In the sense that we pronounce the sound [zh] in the same place as we would say the sound [з], only buzz at the same time. And [sh] we pronounce with the same position of the mouth as with [sh], but only we hiss at the same time. It turns out such “smiling” ź [zh], ś [sch], ć [ch], dź [j], well, ść [shch] are two sounds that are articulated.
