Our new ABC Kids bundle is filled with fun graphics to help your child who is learning to identify letters! This set is a fun way to expose early literacy skills with a focus on the alphabet.

Add the flashcards to your ABC baskets, develop fine motor skills with the q-tip painting printables, practice early reading skills with the easy reader. Match lowercase letters to uppercase letters with the cut & glue set, and match words to pictures with the 3-part cards. Practice tracing letters and dot painting the letters with the dot fun set!

FREE Letter A Sample Set
Involving young children in the early years is one of my favorite things. When decorating a classroom, teachers often use cute pre-made letter posters to showcase the alphabet. What if your child helped create their own Alphabet Posters for the wall in their classroom, homeschool room or even their bedroom?
This new printable set included two different poster options and both are included in the free sample download and the full download.
Each letter offers 6-8 images for your child to add to each poster, showcasing words that begin with that letter.
These posters are great for letter identification, beginning sound awareness, letter formation visuals, and give your child something that s/he participated in to create – which often means s/he will pay more attention to the final product! “I did it!” goes a long way with little kids!
Find this set in my Teacher’s Notebook Shop!
You’ll see an option to download a free preview sample which includes letters A, B & C as well as the full alphabet available for purchase!

The big answer is fine motor skills! You’ll notice how we focus on not only the tiny dots, but also using small items in painting or adding to the dots. All of this works on hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills
The letter/number identification is a secondary bonus!

Years ago I created Kindergarten Literature Units for 9 of my daughter’s favorite books. I focused her Kindergarten experience around these, incorporating my Kindergarten literacy and math goals for her into these units. We used a few other fun things for her Kindergarten curriculum, but these units were by far our favorite!
One of the elements in many of the units was a page called “Phonics Connection” which you can see in action here:
I had always intended to make a full set for the entire alphabet but never got around to it! A few readers have asked and I am happy to say that I finally have it done!
Each page looks like this when you print it out:
There are a few different options, depending on your child. Sometimes we cut the letters out, sometimes we didn’t! Sometimes she cut out the images and sometimes I did it with her. As we worked through sorting the different images, she also learned vocabulary words. My daughter loved tape, so I often let her tape her images onto the letter. You can also practice with glue –“just a dot, not a lot,” or a glue stick.
There’s also an answer guide for parents, in case any of the images are confusing!
