Alphabet Cards

Submitted by David (10-10-2012)

« Back to Alphabet/Phonics

I am a final year student teacher in a prep class.

I decided to print up 4 x A4 alphabet charts and laminate them, the class would then have to find the lower case letter blocks and place them on the correct letter on the A4 page, then do the upper case letters after that.

We have the blocks out in the classroom in a large tub. This is a great confidence builder with the students when they find all the letters.

We sing the alphabet song also at the end and point to each letter as we say it. It is very simple but effective.

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
