I can’t think of a better way to start the school year than putting a smile on young kids’ faces with a free set of alphabet flash cards, especially if you have ESOL/ELL students. They can practice the letters’ names, the sounds they make, and even spelling with these free sets of alphabet cards. Choose from various styles, all sure to get the job done.

Alphabet Flash Cards

Take a gander at this worksheet, really more of a points earning activity sheet that would be great for morning work or for centers. There is a touch of poetry here, spelling, writing, and much more. There are seven activities in all, and they can be charted for success on the weekly planner on the top. Little ones might work for stickers or pencils, filling writing journals with these activities. Score their efforts and keep track of your rising stars!

Spelling Worksheets

Alphabetizing is a hard skill to teach. It takes practice, practice, and more practice. Why not make your life easier with some worksheets? There are worksheets here for alphabetizing by the first, second, or third letter. I can imagine how this might tie into activities where students alphabetize their classmates by first or last names, or where students alphabetize a collection of books. Lead from hands-on practice into worksheets to check understanding. Great differentiated instruction technique!

Alphabetical Order Worksheets

Need an excellent primary resource to start the year off? How about an alphabet booklet? From A-Z, Have Fun Teaching has pages for each letter, with the letter in upper and lower case and a word that starts with that letter. It’s a great little phonics and letter recognition practice booklet. I can imagine how much kids would love to color their pages and even write more words they learn starting with those letters on them, creating their own little dictionaries. Sounds like a good cooperative learning or ESOL activity as well.
