Description

**Updated 9/2024 to include soft C & G**

Dear parents & teachers,

I am so excited to share these posters & images with you. I was recently doing some research and came across studies on using mnemonics with letters. (Which means a picture in the shape of the letter). I have included the research in this resource so you can read more if you would like!

Would you like to be the first to get access to new resources like this? Check out my Science of Reading membership!

This set includes 2 versions of the posters (one with letters on the picture and one without) in muted watercolor tones.

I have also carefully chosen the key words for each letter and sound to be sure they follow the science of reading. Elephant is not the best representation of the short vowel sound for E as students typically hear the name of the letter L instead.

Here are the keywords used:

A – apple/acorn

B – baseball (or bat and ball)

C – caterpillar (or cocoon or chrysalis)

C – circles

D – doughnuts

E – edge/emu

F – flower

G – game

G – giraffe

H – horse

I – inch/ice cream

J – jewelry

K – keys

L – llama

M – mountains

N – needle

O – octopus/orange/ocean

P – paint

Q – queen

R – rainbow

S – snake

T – tools

U – up/unicorn

V – vacuum

W – worms

X – ax

Y – yarn

Z – zipper

Please ask any questions BEFORE purchasing! Thank you!
