About the store
I taught Kindergarten for 14 years, but my teaching journey actually began in 2003 in a 6th grade classroom teaching English and Reading. God knew what he was doing when he encouraged me to make the huge jump to kindergarten, and I loved spending my days in the exciting world of 5 year olds! I am thrilled to say I am now a reading and math intervention teacher, and I have enjoyed helping many teachers grow in their own education journey with these classroom resources.
I am very excited that I get this opportunity to share the incredible resources that make my Kindergarten classroom so successful. It is a joy to my heart and such an encouragement when I hear that I have helped other kiddos out there too!

Large Letter and Sound Flash Cards with Stars
These large flash cards are whole sheets (8 1/2 x 11). They include the following:
A-Z : uppercase, a-z : lowercase
th, wh, sh, ch, ar, ng, oo, ai, ay, ee, ea, igh, oa, ow, ou, ew, ue, ir, er, ur, oi, oy, or, au, aw
I use these flash cards for many activities in my classroom. One is our "Be the Word" game. The kids love it! They can also be a great resource for practice with phoneme segmentation. Some kids really need that visual reinforcement that those "best friend" letters work together

The kids love it! It is a simple, hands on, and a fun way to remember the difference between a b and d when you are writing.
