A quick question about the Alphabet Sorts....when you make a booklet of the letters, you put them in the order the students complete the letters, not alphabetical, right? And, do you also include the line that's included right below the sort pictures where they can practice writing the letters? I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to also glue that in and then put a piece of packing tape over it so students can use dry-erase markers and practice over and over again.
The alphabet booklet is actually in alphabetical order with the letters at the bottom of each page. Then, after they have completed the sort, (or after cutting out the cards, depending on what you prefer) they glue the 'header' cards into the booklet. As they're finding the page the card goes on, they can recite the alphabet, pointing to each letter in the book, up to the page the card goes on.
One of the mistakes I made with my booklets was making them too short. I should have used a taller page so there would also be room for the printing practice piece. It would be an awesome idea for additional letter writing practice to put packing tape over the printing piece so students can use dry-erase markers and practice.
