Beginning Letter Sounds Tool
There are 26 separate iterations across 13 activity pages. Not all starting letters are included, but many of the common ones. Presuming most kids who use this are learning letter sounds, no directions are on the activity pages since they may not be reading yet. Instead, it’s designed to have verbal guidance from a teacher or parent. You could even model one of them! The idea is they will shade in the letter that would correctly start the image they see next to each letter chart. It should be ea

Teaching style
I am a list-maker, question-asker, and choice-giver. I am experimental in engaging students in hands-on ways, especially if music is involved.
_________________________________________________________________________
I like when students can stand in class and talk in line. I like when students can put down pencils while learning, and instead can sing or move. I focus on giving students choice and am practicing a lot of differentiation styles for all learning levels.
_________________________________________________________________________
The toughest experience in differentiating was having a class of 30+ 2nd graders, from a few students who could not read the whole alphabet to students reading at 3rd and 4th grade levels. Having to accommodate that was not only necessary, but was a challenge, and it was as successful as it could have been.
