Put this poster up in your classroom to teach correct letter formation with your favorite Alphablocks! Here are some fun teaching ideas:
- Have students stand up and trace each letter in the air with their pointer finger while looking at the poster.
- Pick one letter each day. Examine how it’s formed on the poster (where to start, which direction to move). Have students trace it on a whiteboard or in a sand tray.
- Laminate a smaller version of the poster or display it on a table. Encourage students to trace letters with their fingers while saying the letter name and sound aloud.
Meet Alphablock N, who loves to say “no!" N needs something. Is it a nurse? A new net? How about nice notes? Write over the letters to help N decide. Once you've helped N, write lots of lovely n letters for him.
You’re a word builder! Sound out and blend the letters. Then write or use your tiles to make the words. Check if you made each of the consonant-vowel-consonant words: t-i-p, p-a-t, p-i-t, s-a-t.
When Magic E joins Alphablock U, the sound changes! Sound out the word magic and blend the letters. Draw a cube and a tube and color a cute cat!
Trace over four f letters and help F have fun flying with her ffff sound. Scribble on fur to make a fab friend for F! What do you think fur feels like — fluffy or spiky?
Meet the lovely Alphablock L! Say the sound, write the letter, and blend words with L. Practice tracing lowercase l, then build and read simple words like l-e-g, l-o-g, and l-i-d. Finish by coloring the things L loves and practice making more words with L using your letter tiles.
U thinks everything is unfair! Write the letters, then shrug your shoulders and say his sound! Cheer up U! Color in some gifts for him. Check the words with the u sound in the middle. Pretend to give U a big hug, then color him in to make him happy!
Meet these blends to cut out and keep! Can you make these blends with your Alphablocks tiles? Here's how to use the letter blend cards:
- Sound out the blend then try to sound out the words listed.
- Cover the top blend and see if you can spot the blend that appears in the words.
- See if you can think of more words with the blend or make up nonsense words with it.
These alphabet tiles are a colorful way to reinforce letter-sound connections. Make a set for each of our students, who can use them to build and sound out words. Using our other Alphablocks printables? These tiles are the perfect companion.
With these Alphablocks cards, you can play four fun learning games:
- Pick a letter sound and think of as many words as you can that start with it.
- Pick an Alphablock and describe it. Can your friend guess which one it is?
- Say the sound each picture starts with to guess who's on the other side!
- Think of a describing word to go with each picture. Wobbly jelly! Stripy sock! Your turn...
Draw lines to join two letters and lead them to their pair. Find the matching letter tiles and say each sound too. Can you connect C to K?
Can you complete the words? Put the letter c at the start of these words.
- c-a-t
- c-a-n
- c-a-p
- c-o-d
- c-o-t
