Alphabet Chart for Adults
Here you will find simple alphabet charts that can be used for adults. You can choose from posters, notepads, and puzzles.
These charts have an artistic background to offer some visual interest. There are direction arrows on the letters to guide your students in the mechanics of writing each letter. Students can follow the arrows on each letter with their finger, and also use the chart for copying the letters onto paper.
This first chart features the upper case letters done with green outlines of the letters on a blended yellow and green background.
I wanted to use something that adults can enjoy looking out while they are learning and practicing how to write the upper case letters. This one is printed on posters.
This design features an ombre sunset design, with blends of yellow, orange, and red. It is shown here on 40-page notepads. Students can trace the letters on the notepad multiple times.
The third design features a beautiful beach scene with a blue ocean. This design is shown on jigsaw puzzles, for some added fun. Sometimes its nice to do some learning in a less focused way. It can be a great reinforcement activity.
Check my CherylsArt store on Zazzle for more alphabet options.
Thank you.

Alphabet Posters for English
Alphabet posters for kids are a fun way to help reinforce learning of the alphabet. Kids can be attracted by the fun illustrations and colors, and/or they can add their own color on the coloring poster.
For added fun, the kids can color in this one:
Some charts feature blends and digraphs for the more advanced learners.
Learning the alphabet is the basic foundation for learning to read and write. It's great that you're choosing fun ways to incorporate learning in fun ways.
The first two charts above can be ordered from Zazzle.com. The third chart is ready for purchase at Amazon.
If you want this kind of information that isn't shown in such a cute format, for your older students, then check out my book, The Phonics Guide. Common letter patterns, including blends and digraphs, are listed in alphabetical order in the book. The illustrations are simple black and white drawings without all of the cute.
Visit here for alphabet charts illustrated with direction arrows on the letters. You can choose from posters, notepads, and jigsaw puzzles.

Literacy and Phonetics - Alphabet Shirts
Children learn in a variety of ways. It's a good idea to incorporate different activities when teaching reading. It helps to reinforce the text when there is an activity to connect the reading to, other than just what is visual on the page, or the sound of one's voice.
This fun activity involves the kids coloring in letters on a shirt that they can wear.
Of course, they don't have to color in the letters, they can just be fun to read and recite, to learn the order of the alphabet.
If you notice, the alphabet letters are shown in three different colors. The consonants are in red. The vowels are in blue. The crossover letters are in purple. Crossover letters are letters that sometimes act like a consonant, and sometimes like a vowel.
Most people are taught that the letter Y is sometimes a consonant and sometimes a vowel. Now Y has a pal; W.
W is also a crossover letter. The W acts like a consonant in the word - who. The W acts like a vowel, like a silent E in the word - flow.
Y can represent a variety of sounds. Y is a consonant in the word - yellow. Y acts like a long I in the word - fly, and like a long E in the word - baby.
A coloring alphabet shirt is a fun way to reinforce this concept. Teachers can wear alphabet shirts too.
Whether you're ordering a shirt for a teacher and/or student, I recommend acrylic paint markers for fabric. to color them in. The paint markers are quite permanent, and it's pretty simple to apply. Be sure to place a sheet of flat cardboard between the fabric layers before doing any coloring or painting on the shirts.
Happy reading; and coloring.
