What’s it for?
These Christmas Alphabet cards have been designed to be printed separately onto card to practise identifying the x26 initial sounds and match these with the correct grapheme - all Christmas themed. This set of cards provided learners with a fun opportunity to practise their sound knowledge linked to Christmas.

This activity has been designed to be a simple, interactive, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently.

How to use it?
An adult needs to print these cards onto A4 card and and pre-cut the cards into x52 separate rectangle cards.

The set of cards can then be shuffled and placed on a table top, positioned face up with a for learners to look at and match. Learners could use on their own or perhaps with adult support (initially). Learners could also use this resource to order the cards alphabetically.

Learners look at each image and say this out loud. They then identify (verbally) the initial sound of this word e.g. for the first letter of the alphabet the learner would say “Advent Calendar” and then “a” (for ‘Advent’). Learners then look for the ‘a’ grapheme card to match the two together.

Resource Details…
The pictures included use words with clear initial sounds. Some images/words may be completely new to learners making these a teaching point and opportunity to expand their ‘Christmas vocabulary’. For clarity all images are labelled on the back of every card, e.g. ‘quince’ may easily be presumed to be a ‘pear’.
