⭐ Why Teachers Will Love It

Concepts of print can be difficult for young learners to understand without concrete examples. These activities make those concepts visual and hands-on, helping students learn the difference between letters, words, numbers, pictures, and other features of print.

Use the posters and vocabulary cards to introduce and model each concept, then give students opportunities to apply their learning with the sorting activities.

This resource is especially helpful at the beginning of the school year as you introduce books, print awareness, and early reading behaviors—or anytime students need additional practice with foundational literacy skills.

Print, teach, sort, and practice!
