Give students the photocopied sheet of the letter they are practising. Practise saying the letter a few times. Students colour in the letter. Decorate with buttons, glitter, cut up material, what ever you have available. Students cut out the letter and glue it onto a large communal sheet. Students can draw pictures of things that start with the phonic sound or find pictures in magazines. The final sheet can be hung up in the classroom to view.

Students use these cards when they are writing their stories. The pictures and words all start with the same beginning phonics sound. These can be used in teaching sessions and independently by students. You can print slides 2 and 3 back to back or slides 2 and 4 back to back.

Students have to find the assigned letter in the grid and colour each one. If they find them all then the coloured pattern will become the letter. Students can then colour in the pictures that relate to the sound and letter. Encourage students to say the sound and the name of the letter. Use these as followup activities when you are focussing on certain letters. Print these as a handout or laminate for students to use whiteboard markers.
