Classroom Implementation Strategies • Recite the alphabet with the class, while drawing each letter upper case and lower case on the board. • Have 3 practice stations set up around the room. • Station 1- Have the iPad’s with LetterReflex application. Where the children will practice using “Flip It” activity. • Station 2- Have the iPad’s with LetterRelex application. Where the children will practice using “Tilt It” activity. • Station 3- Children will listen to the letters being called and write them in proper form.

  9. Tilt It (Learn) • Hold the device (iPad) flat and tilt the iPad to move the ball into the correct letter they ask for. • You practice tilting the iPad in the direction of how you make the letters. For example the “p” is in the top right corner, like how you would write the letter. q p d b

  10. Tilt It • Tilt It uses kinesthetic learning techniques to help children learn their left side/right side to correct letter formation. • Tilt it challenges children to tilt the device in the correct direction to form letters.
