Being a year 1 teacher and inspired by the certificate course i have used many multi-sensory ideas to teach letter sounds. Some examples of this are:
getting the children to write letters in shaving foam on the table - messy, but fun!
making playdough and biscuit dough letters.
filling finished washing up liquid bottles with water and using these out in the playground to write letters, children's names and words on the tarmac and making large collage letter shapes. The children have enjoyed these activities and their phonetic knowledge has definately improved.
