If I had a dollar for every time I have read this book 😅 kids adore the pigeon, and honestly I do too!

A classic! I love the board book for a classroom library. Especially for a TK or K room at the beginning of the year.

Manipulatives and multiuse items
Easy to throw in a station for word work. Students can build words, work on blending, and work on segmenting. Students can also use these to build sight words or tricky words.
FunPlay Foam Alphabet Block Set - 36pc
Fun and engaging for center or small group work. I would recommend buying a few sets to have multiples of each letter.
Learning Resources Snap-n-Learn ABC Elephants, Educational Toys, Alphabet Elephant Toy, Ages 2+
Another great multi use toy that is easy to clean. Students can match letters or spell words. You will need more than one set if you want multiple of each letter.

I like to use these while in line, warming up during a lesson, or when I have a few free minutes in the classroom between subjects.

There are so many uses for this! Letter recognition, matching letters to sounds, word building…the list goes on and on!

Small group necessities
A must have for small groups! Make less copies by placing worksheets in these dry erase sheets. I also like that they have a hook! I use them to hang small anchor charts around the room as well.
SCRIBBLEDO Colored Dry Erase Pocket Sleeves Pack of 6
A fun take on an alphabet arch! Students love that it is like a pop it, and I love that it functions just like a paper alphabet arch. I like to bring this out for some added engagement and excitement.
Junior Learning® Alphabet Arc Pop and Learn™ Bubble Board
An all time favorite of mine ❤️ you can use this arc for so many activities and skills. This one is durable and a good size for smaller groups. I keep a few on hand so each student can have their own to manipulate.

I love the size of these letters and the fact that they are magnetic 👏🏻 these are great for modeling on the teacher board during small groups and durable enough for students to manipulate as well.

My students love to wear these on their tracking fingers as they read. Perfect for a little boost in engagement during small groups.

Blending boards are amazing for a quick on the spot mini lesson, intervention, or daily drill.

Another item that is great to use as intended (for the games) or as a multi use blending board! I love the color coded letters as well as the magnetic pieces. Good quality for the price.
