Alphabet Sort Use these little Raccoon families to practise the alphabet, initial sounds and word recognition. How to use this product: Help Daddy Raccoon to reunite with his family. You can select the level you wish your students to complete this activity. Matching Daddy Raccoon with Mommy Raccoon will practice Upper and Lower case. Bring in the older brother and sister to practice initial sounds and then finally include younger brother to bring in word recognition. By printing these on larger pages, these would make a beautiful Alphabet chart with a twist. A worksheet has also been included where students can record the families and practice their formation of the letters and words. Page two of the worksheet can be printed a number of times and a little book can be constructed with all of the letters.

This product was designed for students to practise their fine motor skills and prepare them for writing. It has been created with an autumn/fall theme, where an autumn character needs to reach a desired item. The student then uses their crayon to follow the path until they reach the item. For extra practice, we first use a non-writing tool to follow the path before using a crayon. This product is in colour and black line. A front cover has also been included to create a little booklet. I would suggest laminating the colour version in order to make it reusable. Students can then use a dry erase marker to follow the paths. A key ring can be used to group them together into a fun centre activity.

This mini CVC (Short i) pack is perfect for introducing or/and consolidating CVC words with a short i. The pack includes a ‘Short i Booklet’. I bound these by using a ring in the top left hand corner. Use velcro with a sticky back to create a product which can be used over and over again. Place the one side of the velcro on the back of the image and then the other side of the velcro in the box next to the word. Students can now read the word and search for the image to ‘paste’ next to it. Worksheets have also been included and can be used to ‘test’ what students know. They have been grouped accordingly: words ending in –ib, -id, -ig, -in, -it and -ip. Here students choose the necessary pictures, cut and then paste them and write the word. The set of Word Wall cards can be used in two ways. Either you can keep the image attached to the word as a reference resource on your wall, or you can separate the picture and the word to create an interactive activity for students to match together.
