So I had several old bulletin boards at my disposal... and this is what I came up with. There is a hook for each letter of the alphabet. Then there are two pockets to hold the cards. The cards have a hole punched in the top so they can hang on the hooks. Each card has an image/picture of an item. The students then place the card on the correct hook for the starting letter. The students love it! It is good for a center, game, or classroom circle time activity. I got the cards at the dollar store (they were alphabet flashcards) and just cut the letter off the bottom. I also made some of my own but after trying both, I decided it was cheaper to buy a pack at the dollar store than print them all. I also have selected images of three letter words (dog, sun, cat, etc.) and had the students hang it on the peg of the vowel sound. There are a lot of ways to mix it up but it provides a great tactile and visual experience with phonemic awareness and letter recognition.
