Description

Word Cards gives children a visual way to connect each letter of the alphabet with words that begin with that letter.

Each alphabet letter includes four matching word cards. The cards feature clear text and colorful pictures, helping children hear the beginning sound, see the printed word, and connect the word to a familiar image.

Use these cards during letter-of-the-week lessons, alphabet review, small group instruction, literacy centers, pocket chart activities, vocabulary practice, or large group letter sound review. They are flexible enough to use for quick daily practice or as part of a more focused alphabet activity.

What’s Inside

This resource includes:

• Word cards for each letter of the alphabet

• 4 words for each letter A-Z

• 104 total word cards

• Clear printed words

• Colorful picture visuals

• Beginning sound vocabulary support for each letter

How to Use

Choose the letter you want students to practice.

Show the word cards for that letter and say each word aloud. Have children listen for the beginning sound and repeat the word with you.

Use the cards to support letter recognition, beginning sound practice, vocabulary building, and alphabet review.

You can use the cards during large group, small group, literacy centers, pocket chart activities, or letter tables. You can also sort the cards by beginning letter, match cards to alphabet cards, or use them as visual vocabulary supports during your letter lessons.

Prep Tip

Print and laminate the cards if you want to reuse them throughout the year. Store the cards by letter in bags, envelopes, photo boxes, or labeled containers so you can quickly pull the letter set you need.

Physical materials such as laminating supplies, bags, envelopes, pocket charts, bins, or storage containers are not included.
