The word-building puzzles are perfect for building words using the sounds each letter makes with the help of the visual pictures for each word as well.

The alphabet mini-books are a great resource and are easy and simple to create. Each sentence starts with the same predictable sentence. This helps them gain confidence and practice reading as well as sound out each word with the help of the visual picture for each one. Your students can color or trace each word and color the picture on the page before or after reading the mini-book. You can spread these mini books throughout the year as you study each letter of the alphabet or use them all at once.

These are some great activities for your literacy center!
