Description

Use these blue alphabet letter cards on their own or in combination with our phonogram alphabet, red alphabet, or black alphabet.

This is the easiest and clearest way for children to begin to work with phonogram families and word study. Here are just a few ideas:

Isolate phonograms (write these in red and the rest of the word in black or blue) in words for phonogram study
Isolate prefixes and suffixes (write these in red and the rest of the word in black or blue) in lists of words for word study
Compare lists of singular (write these in black or blue) and plural (write these in red) words
Compare lists of homophones (write one in black or blue and one in red)
Compare lists of synonyms and antonyms (write the original word list in black or blue and the comparative list of synonyms or antonyms in red)
Compare lists of root words (write these in black or blue) and their contractions (write these in red)

Product Details

Includes 10 of each consonant, 20 of each vowel and high frequency letter (r, s, t, n), and 10 apostrophe's (for contraction work)
Comes in cursive or print (AMI recommends print at this stage, even if you used cursive for the sandpaper letters and traditional alphabet; read our blog post on fonts for more info)
All letters are printed on only one side to isolate the lower-case letter
Eco-laminated and ready to use
Rounded corners to acknowledge the tactile sensitivities of those small hands
Comes with a fantastic lesson plan that will bring the alphabet work to life
Cards are approx. 1.25" wide x 2" high.
Display it in our alphabet pocket chart pouch (sold separately)

Made in the USA.

Rather craft these yourself? Just purchase a Digital File and you'll be ready to print and cut your own alphabet.

STORAGE OPTIONS

Cloth Pouches: Our favorite way to house and display our alphabets is in our Alphabet Pocket Chart Cloth Pouches. These are color-coded to match your alphabet.

Egg Cartons: These alphabets can be stored and displayed in egg cartons. We recommend placing two plastic cartons (one 18-egg carton and one 12-egg carton) side-by-side and hot gluing the bottoms to a piece of foam board or chipboard. Use the lids to help keep the dust off when the alphabets are not in use.

Craft Box: We like the 40-compartment box available from the Container Store because it has a transparent lid that helps keep the dust out without hiding the letters. Another alternative is a velvet 30 compartment jewelry box (like this one we found on Amazon). We tested it in a public school Montessori classroom it held up well...the children loved to touch its soft sides.

A Note to Teachers

Whenever you start work with any movable alphabet, remember that the first lesson is how to carry the container/pouch, take letters out, and put them back in. Don't be afraid to practice doing this many times before you write a single word. If you find that children are often dropping their alphabets, revisit this lesson as often as needed.
