[Alphabet Recognition] LRC game

I discovered something incredibly interesting today during phonics.
My phonics time is in the afternoon.
After specials.
Today's special was PE.
My littles were exhausted.
Timed out.

I kept trying to engage them.
It wasn't working.
So. . .I asked them to follow the alphabet cards as I pointed and say the letters.
I started at "z" and worked backward.

Well, they were engaged.
But clueless.
The majority of my littles were unable to tell me the names of the letters when we were "reading" them in reverse order.
WHAT?!
Crazy talk.

Interesting.
I KNOW many of my littles are great readers.
But. . .there is a gap somewhere.
We'll be using this little game to help FILL that gap.

Letter Recognition Left Right Center.
Easy to play.
Perfect practice/review.
2 FULL sets of alphabet (upper and lower case in 2 different fonts) are included in the download.
It's free through Wednesday night only.
Then it's going in the shop.  :)
If you're in the same predicament I found myself in today, please consider giving this game a try in your home or in your class.  Let me know how it works for you.

Tomorrow is Wednesday.
Middle of the week.
Anyone else absolutely worn right out?!
