All About the Letter Pocket Chart Activitiy

All About the Letter Activity Chart is part of my circle time routine. Each letter of the alphabet has four photo picture cards. Suggested ideas:

• Letter recognition
• Alphabetic order
• Beginning sound identification
• Sorting
• Classifying

The picture is a representation of the All About the Letter Chart. The photo cards are Alphabet Soup Sorters the school district had purchased for the classroom. Instead of using the Alphabet Soup Sorter Cards you can use the photo picture cards in this activity packet.

The packet contains the following:

• (26) Letter Cards (Vowels are in red)
• (4) Photo cards for each letter of the alphabet
• (1) All about the letter... Sign
• (1) Question mark card.

Photo List:

• Aa: apple, ambulance, ant, Apple Jacks 
• Bb: balloon, butterfly, bear, button 
• Cc: cat, cake, cookie, car
• Dd: doughnut, domino, dog, duck 
• Ee: elephant, eraser, eagle, ear 
• Ff: fork, football, firefighter, feather
• Gg: goat, gas, grapes, glasses 
• Hh: heart, hat, hamster, horn 
• Ii: ice cream, ice, iron, insect
• Jj: jacks, jet, juice, jar 
• Kk: kick, keys, ketchup, kite 
• Ll: ladder, lamp, lock, lemon
• Mm: mushroom, magnet, motorcycle, milk 
• Nn: nurse, newspaper, nest, nickel

• Xx: x-ray, xylophone , box, fox 
• Yy: yarn, yak, yogurt, yellow 
• Zz: zebra, zucchini, zigzag, zipper

Directions:

• It is suggested to print all pieces on card stock and laminate for durability. Actual size for each letter card is 3.25” x 3.75” and each photo card is 2.625” x 2.6667”.
• Once printed cut on the solid black line for the letter cards. This way the background goes all the way to the edge.
• Once all pieces have been laminated and cut I used a calendar pocket chart to place all of the cards in and the photo cards are placed behind the letter.

Mailbox Student Address Cards

These mailbox shaped cards are the ideal printable to use for students to learn their name, address, telephone number and birthday.

You could also use the activity for the following:

• Name recognition
• Address knowledge
• Telephone knowledge
• Birthday
• Letter recognition
• Concepts about print
• Emergent reading skills
• And so much more!

The packet contains the following:

• (4) Mailbox Cards with lines for writing information on.
• (4) Editable Mailbox cards that you can use Adobe Acrobat to type in student information. 

Directions:

It is suggested to print all pieces on card stock and laminate for durability. Then cut out along image lines and write student information on the cards with a permanent marker AFTER laminating. To re-use cards, simply scribble over permanent marker with a dry erase marker, then wipe clean. Something in the dry erase marker enables the permanent marker to be cleaned off the laminated card. Perfect to reuse the card instead of having to re-print new ones!

Number Tracing Cards

Number Tracing Cards are perfect for little hands to use. Simply supply your little ones with dry erase markers or dry erase crayons and let them practice their fine motor skills while they are recognizing their numerals.

Directions

It is suggested to print all pieces on card stock and laminate for durability. For added durability I cut the cards apart on the dotted line and folded the cards in half on the solid line. Then I glued the two folded pieces together with stick glue. I then laminated the Number Tracing Cards. NOTE: If you decide to assemble your Number Tracing Cards this way, leave at least an 1/8th of an inch of laminate film around each card when trimming. This way the laminate will not peel (if it’s the good kind). Then I punched a hole in the top right corner and used a book ring bind my Number Tracing Cards together. I am using the cards in my writing center this year.
