Easy-to-use, this moveable alphabet just needs to be printed, laminated and cut. I suggest printing each page twice. It includes 2.5cm square letter tiles of all the English letters in lower case (print and cursive). Vowels and consonants are different colours for quick distinguishing.

This PDF poster contains high-quality animal graphics for each letter of the English alphabet. The initial sound is purely phonetic. Because children love to learn new words, some unusual or rather unknown animals are included. This offers endless opportunities for group or individual discussions as well as cross-curricular and extended learning. I recommend Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF. In the print dialogue, choose "Print as Poster" and find the size that is right for you.
