This PDF is an illustrated alphabet learning guide for children.
It presents each letter of the English alphabet (both uppercase and lowercase) alongside a corresponding word and picture that starts with that letter, for example, A a – Apple, B b – Ball, C c – Cat, and so on through Z z – Zip.
The format is simple and repetitive, making it easy for young learners to associate letters with familiar objects or animals. This type of resource is typically used in early education to teach letter recognition, phonics, and vocabulary.
This Year One Back to School Booklet is the perfect resource to welcome children into the classroom, settle them into routines, and get to know them at the start of the academic year. Designed with early learners in mind, it is packed with activities that encourage creativity, self-expression, and early number skills while helping teachers gather valuable insight into each child.
