Welcome to K week ? This post is full of fun and engaging preschool activities for the letter K, all tested and tried on my 4-year-old. He is so excited about “doing school” with the older kids that his enthusiasm is contagious.

When my older children were in preschool I began teaching them the alphabet through this letter a week system and it worked so well that I am now on child number four and still happy with the system.

We all know that reading to our children is one of the most important steps we can take to help them learn to read. Does your preschooler enjoy books? All of my kids love story time (even the super active ones!) and snuggling on the couch together reading at the end of the day is one of my favorite family activities!

Here are a few letter K books that your preschooler might enjoy.

Thomas and Friends King of the Railway by Rev. W. Awdry

Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too by Eric Carle

I think “The Kissing Hand” is the most well-known on this list of books for the letter K, but my preschooler’s favorite is “Clifford’s Kitten”.
