Goal Setting
Students are encouraged to write goals by creating S.M.A.R.T. goals. As they do so it is helpful for them to have a visual aid to help them think along the lines of creating sound goals. These posters are a great classroom display for them to refer to whether setting goals for a day, a week, a month or a year.
Included are three (3) classroom general posters:- one with a boy playing soccer, one with a girl playing soccer and one with a simple breakdown of the S.M.A.R.T. goals.

Alphabet Letter Writing:
Alphabet Letter writing Visual Cues Posters and Cards: My students had a little difficulty with the formation of some letters so I did some sketches on the whiteboard to help them remember the directions and start points. I decided to transfer those sketches in the form of visual cue cards and posters to help other teachers who may face similar problems. Alphabet Letter Writing Visual Cues Poster and Cards is what I came up with for that purpose.
This resource contains cards for the letters that pose a challenge to our young and budding writers; These are w, m, u, n, h, t, f and z only
. I hope it proved helpful to you as it is for me and my kiddos.

Alphabet Writing - {Visual Clue Posters and Cards}. These were created and inspired by my 5 year olds who showed some difficulty with the formation of letters. These are an enhancement to the sketches and visual images that I drew on the whiteboard to help them remember the directions and start points.
These cards can be used to assist young students to visually grasp this somewhat difficult concept. They would be able to trace their own sequencing ideas in which stories and events can occur. Students get an opportunity to:-
-Follow directions
-Discriminate between pictures
-Improve visual awareness
-Retell stories and events in sequence
-Build oral vocabulary skills
-Build narrative (story) skills
-Improve sequencing skills
-Ask and answer “wh” questions themselves for clarity
SUGGESTED USE:
These simple picture cards are lots of fun to sequence! Kids will arrange them in logical order to complete each sequence. Use these simple COLOR-CODED picture sequencing cards to practice sequencing in 4-scene sets with your young detectives.
DIFFERENTIATION/EXTENSION:
For students having difficulty with sequences it is suggested that you scaffold learning by working individually with them as a guide on the side, gradually releasing support as time goes by. To start, simply select one sequence set and present the final picture first to allow him or her to see the BIG PICTURE. Then have the student place the remaining pictures in the correct order back up to the beginning to complete the sequence.
For the stronger students you can challenge them to write the story in sequence using the cards as a guide. They can write two or three sentences about each card then ultimately putting sentences together to create their own piece.
CONTENTS OF RESOURCE:
This set includes:
–>4-Scene Sequencing Cards
There are 80 cards that form 20 sequences
Each card measures 2.83" x 3.5". Each set is COLOR-coded to facilitate easy ordering.
–>2 four-scene mats

Straight letters

Diagonal letters

Letters with curves
Letters with humps and closed humps
I also included the grouping uppercase (capital) and lowercase (common).
These groupings are particularly useful for the teaching and revision of letter and can be used as a sequence for the introduction of the letters. Once the similarities of movement are pointed out, then students are able to develop a metacognitive awareness of letter formation that can support their practices of letter writing.
—❀❀❀—The “Letter Looks Like” Cards is my own creation in which each letter is fixed to an object, animal or person as a visual reminder of form. I have tried to align them based also on initial sound to make a meaningful connection for students.

There are 2 x 2 grids (large letters); 3 x 2 grids; multiple grid rows and large single lines then soft double guide lines for more precise handwriting. I also included a handwriting free style sheet and letter formation sheets with start points for students to keep in their writing folders.
—❀❀❀—Fillable Letter Mats - With these letter mats your students can use play doh (playdough), chain links or any medium to fill the space within the letters. These work well as write on and wipe off mats that can be laminated or placed in plastic sleeves.
