Alphabet Wall Cards

The classroom I inherited had some ugly alphabet cards hung on the wall.  You know the type.  Colorless and BORING.  I don't do boring very well.  I need color and fun--especially in the classroom.  This set of wall cards is perfect to bring some color into your life.  Do you ever have those students who ask, "which one is the B?" and you're trying to point it out on the wall?  I hate that, but just telling them to look at the orange one, and pointing them toward the beginning of the alphabet is sure nice.

The set comes with full sheet and half sheet options.  I like the full sheet for the wall, and then the half sheet to just keep near the front of my classroom in a stack.  A few times a day I will whip them out and we use them for fluency practice for both letter identification and sound fluency.  It works like  a charm.  As an added bonus, when they see the same card in my hand as they see on the wall, they tend to connect the dots a little quicker on the letter identification.

Aren't these colors fun?  And one of my favorite things in this world is polka dots.  I feel like it just brings some fun to the class.

I think the smaller cards would be great in a literacy station, too.  The kids could use them as flashcards, or they could sort some first sounds onto the matching letter.  That sounds like a win-win to me as far as the core is concerned.  You can go here to get your cards.

Teach a kid, give someone a hug, and have a wonderful day!
