How to Use Letter Puzzles to Build Literacy
These are perfect for centers or small groups. You can cut them out as one piece if you are teaching letter recognition.
As students look at each apple, they can learn to recognize the uppercase and lowercase version of each letter.
Once they’re ready, it’s time to practice!
Cut the puzzles apart and students can match up the letters they just learned.
To make sure the puzzles last, you may want to either laminate them or print them on white cardstock.
Or both!
If you’re working with very young learners, print an extra set of the puzzles and leave them whole. Then put them on a ring as an answer key.
Students can check their work as they go!
If you use the blackline version, you can let your class color in the puzzles before matching them up.
