Materials:
Give students opportunities to sort, recognize, compare, name, and classify letters. Upper and lower case letters are available for download below! Simply print, cut, and mount on index cards that have been cut in half. I make two sets. One for my felt board center, and the other for the pocket chart center. Sandpaper on the reverse side of the index card will allow the letters to stick to the felt board. I've also heard the Velcro works well, too.
