Pre-K Phonics Resources (by date, oldest first)

Looking for simple but elegant alphabet posters that are designed with students in mind? I've got you covered! No matter your need, you are sure to find one of the four included designs to be exactly what you've been wanting.

With letters printed in both upper and lower case in an easy-to-read, elementary-friendly font, these posters are the perfect addition to your elementary classroom.

Available in pink or black letters, with or without clip art. (Two designs are included for the letter X- just so you are aware; I prefer the boX, but you might want X-ray, so that's included for you, too.)

Print on cardstock and laminate for extra durability.

Number Posters in the same design are also available! Check them out here!

This is a PDF document and is not editable.

Print and laminate alphabet arc, picture cards, and arrow. Punch a hole where indicated on the alphabet arc and attach the arrow to the arc with a brad. 

Students will draw a picture card, place it in the box under the arc, and match the picture to its beginning sound (with the exception of boX for X) by rotating the spinning arrow to point to the correct letter. Alternately, students could turn over a card and place it in front of them, rotate the arrow to the correct letter, and then write the letter with a dry erase marker in the box below the arc for additional writing practice. Pictures coordinate with the key words from the Phonics First program, but this product is in no way related to Orton-Gillingham or its affiliates.

As children explore the puzzles, they're not only honing their ability to identify initial sounds but also reinforcing their understanding of letter-sound correspondence.

First sound fluency is the ability to identify the first sound in a word. To learn to read children need to be able to break words into their sounds! This is a great way to think about sounds in words and the letters that represent those sounds! No prep, print, and cut and paste!

These keyword letter cards will help your students remember their sounds! When you add pictures and keywords research has shown it helps in the retention and retrieval of information.

Included:

• Mnemonic keywords
• All 26 letters of the alphabet
• Long Vowels
• Digraphs; th (voiced and unvoiced), ch, sh, ck, ph, wh

Handwriting improves a student's ability to recall information, make connections between different concepts, and synthesize information in new ways!

My handwriting book includes:

• Mnemonic keywords and pictures (this will help with memory of letter name and sound as they practice the writing of the letter)
• Letter formation sayings and pictures for where to start and end your letters
• Sentence Practice
• Binding edge so that you can place it in folders with sheet protectors to use with dry erase markers, staple or coil bind together to use fun pens, glitter crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc!

When a student can produce the letters correctly and quickly, they will use less brain power when writing words and sentences!

This is a quick and easy letter assessment to help identify your child's ability. I used the research behind LETRS and the science of reading to create this assessment.

My product includes:

• Instructions for use
• Letter names of uppercase and lowercase letters
