Environmental Print – On the Go

Quick Answer

Environmental Print – On the Go is an alphabet resource that connects letters A-Z to recognizable brands and logos children may see while traveling in a car, bus, train, or plane. Each letter includes two environmental print graphics, helping children build letter recognition, print awareness, and real-world literacy connections.

Description

Environmental Print – On the Go helps children notice that letters and words are all around them.

This resource connects each letter of the alphabet to familiar logos and brands children may recognize while they are out in the world. Instead of only seeing letters in isolation, students begin connecting letters to real print they may notice through a car window, on signs, during errands, or while traveling.

Environmental print is not a traditional alphabet instruction method by itself, but it can be a meaningful way to help children understand that print carries meaning. When children recognize familiar logos, they begin to see that letters form words, words represent ideas, and print is part of everyday life.

Use this resource during alphabet review, transportation themes, environmental print lessons, Smart Board activities, large group discussions, or classroom literacy displays.

What’s Inside

This resource includes:

• Environmental print graphics for letters A-Z

• 2 graphics per letter

• Colorful logos and brands commonly seen on the go

• Printable format for classroom use

• Graphics that can be laminated, displayed, or shown on a Smart Board

Each letter is paired with two recognizable environmental print examples to support real-world letter connections.

How to Use

Print and laminate the pages for repeated classroom use, or display them digitally on a Smart Board during group instruction.

Introduce one letter at a time, or use the resource as an alphabet review activity. Show the environmental print examples and invite children to notice the letter, name the logo if they recognize it, and talk about where they may have seen it before.

Use the pages during transportation themes by connecting the logos to places children might see while riding in a car, bus, train, or plane.

You can also use the graphics for large group discussion, small group alphabet review, classroom displays, or environmental print scavenger hunts.

Prep Tip

Print and laminate the pages if you want to use them as reusable cards or classroom visuals. You can also display the pages digitally if you prefer to use them during Smart Board lessons or group discussions.
