Students use teacher-made ABC magnet cards to create the alphabet chart.  They then use pointers to "chant" the alphabet - -  A, apple, /a/ /a/ apple" and so forth. I purchase business card magnets from Wal-Mart and business cards (fed them through my laser printer) from Wal-Mart.

ABC Magnets: ABC Chant Alphabet Magnets - - print on Business Cards

Chart #2 Objective:

Students select an Alphabet Chart from the selection, and use magnet letters to "fill the chart out" - -as they add magnet letters, the sheet stays put.  I don't laminate my ABC charts.  They get heavier when you do, but mostly I don't laminate them because it isn't necessary.  You could laminate, or you could slide it into a sheet protector page.  I choose not to.  It is easy enough to just print another chart if needed (when one gets ruined).  When all 26 magnet letters are intact,  students use a pointer to "chant" the alphabet - -  A, apple, /a/ /a/ apple" and so forth.
