Here are four ppt's to help the little 'uns learn the name and sound of the letters of the alphabet.

I understand your desire to reach 5 posts quickly, but you might want to consider completing a work before uploading it.

Regardless, the missing font, for those who wish to use these five cards is available for free here.

A revised version of wikawika's alphabet powerpoint.  This one has just standard block letters, in either solid black or outline, to make it easier for students to model when learning to write the alphabet.

Each picture is individually animated, so you have time to elicit responses as you go along.

Hello, I put together a video for each letter to teach the sound and some anchor words. Here is the one for "A"

Modified Gillod's alphabet workbook so students could practice writing letters as well.  Has worked really well with my 1st grade.

Also, I made a PPT for teaching the to Grade 2...I link to the HaveFunTeaching videos for all of the vowels, y and r (I like to do 4 letters and 1 video per lesson), and have pictures to go with the phonemes.

I'm using the Winners' Speaking & Listening Starter Textbook for grade 1 Afterschool.
Its a good book for reviewing ABC's and moving on to speaking.
Here is the PPTs that I made for it so far.

Hope its useful.

In the first semester I used the textbook Sounds Great 1 for Grade 1 normal school lessons.
It was a good introduction to the alphabet.

Here is the PPT's that I made for it.

Learning the ABC's is a lot of work.
The students should be able to:

Recognize the letter by sight.
Match the "big" letter with the "small" letter.
Give and recognize the phonetic sound/s of the letter.
Know words starting with the letter.
And write the letter. (I teach this by first drawing the letter with their fingers in the air.)

:) good luck

(Some of these power points have grids filled with the vocab pictures - print them and use them as flashcards.)

Thank you!  This is really helpful!  I like using mini books for teaching.  I've been teaching my children the phonics song from youtube.  It's a great hit.  They enjoy the big pictures and letters.  Just type in "phonic song"

The following is an incomplete example writing workbook book using the font in my sig. Feel free to use the images in the file too if you wish. One of the very goals of the font project was to provide the resources for you to make books customised to your own students and teaching needs. With regard to the images, note they all intentionally refer to phonics words with pure initial short vowel and hard consonant sounds: no w for whale, c for cheese or i for icecream. I'll cheerfully pop up the complete resource once it's done, but I'm doodling it up as I go.

The QR codes and youtube links go to some videos I found and liked on Youtube by "Have Fun Teaching". We use these in class and I hold probably false hope that at least one student bothers to go home and revise. There are a couple of oddities in them (weird attempted use at IPA on screen that falls flat), but far fewer than any other video series I've seen and it makes up for those it does have with genuinely catchy tunes and covering long vowels (by phoneme, so like graphemes mixed [eg: a_e and ai] as is the current teaching trend from the UK) and soft consonants (ci/ce/cy/gi/ge/gy) as it goes for awareness. Technically these phonemes are not "taught" until 4th grade (and I believe technically all single letter phonemes are not taught if you follow the syllabus strictly).

I was asked by my VP/other teachers to incorporate more writing in my lessons. I've obliged and made the attached file.

It's a seven days word search. When I did it in after school class, the students really like it!

I hope It'll be helpful to you! :)
