TWO PAGES FOR EVERY LETTER A TO Z (52 PAGES)
Page 1, learn the letter:
• Big model capital and small letter with a start dot, numbered strokes and arrows
• A row of capital letters and a row of small letters to trace, each with a start dot
• Trace, then write it on your own
• Picture sound hunt: 8 pictures, circle (or color) the ones that start with the letter sound
• Picture names printed in small type at the bottom of the page, so you never have to guess what a picture is
Page 2, use the letter:
• Say, trace and write 3 picture words (ant, ax, apple...)
• A blank box to draw something that starts with the sound and write its name
• Trace a short sentence, then write it on your own
• A 3-star self check
ALSO INCLUDED

• Capital and small letter formation charts with numbers and arrows
• Alphabet sounds chart with 26 pictures

• Letter tracker, ABC Superstar certificate, 3 book covers to staple a book

MADE FROM TEACHER FEEDBACK
• Clear pictures plus printed picture names and a full answer key
• Traditional ball-and-stick print: lowercase t starts below the top line, K is a straight line and a sideways V
• Words and a sentence for every letter, for children who are ready for more
• No cutting anywhere
• On the X pages children listen for /ks/ at the end of words (fox, box, six), because very few words start with that sound
