Fontastic Letter Font Sorts - All 26 letters - CCSS Aligned

Font sorts are great for your students who come into kindergarten with little knowledge of letter identification. Students should just sort two or three letters to start off with.

This is a great book to start teaching the emergent reader about letter sounds, and also a great tool for teaching the young reader about the concept of matching voice to print. This is also a great resource to teach students how to use picture clues to read unfamiliar words. A very simple but powerful tool for the young reader!

Teaching style

I consider myself a laid back teacher who likes to combine learning with having fun. I try very much to establish caring relationships with my students. When they know I care about them, they feel more invested in their learning. I try to ground my teaching in research and what makes the most sense for students. I am one of those fortunate few that love what I do!
