This bundle all of my "Mirror Friends" phonics resources for letter reversal.

The main component for each product is a fully illustrated book which introd

This pack contains a two page display poster, student desk strips (arranged two strips per page), a small fold out book which can be done as a craft, and two pages of flashcards. It is meant to act as a supplement to my other “Mirror Friends” letter reversal resources, but it can be used by itself.

They design the outside of the mooncake and also draw the interior to show what flavours are being used. I

I originally used this with a P2 class but it is suitable for a wide range of ages. I recommend bringing books or handouts which show examples of clothing, architecture, weaponry,
