Alphabet Puzzles with Real Photographs

Practice learning beginning sounds and matching capital and lowercase letters with these alphabet puzzles.

What is Included:

Each letter of the alphabet includes one puzzle for matching the capital and lowercase letter of the alphabet. Each letter is on a puzzle card that has a real photographic image of something that begins with that letter. There are two puzzle formats, one where the puzzles form a rectangular shaped puzzle and one where the puzzle is the shape of the object itself.

The real life photographs will give students something they see in real life that they can associate each letter sound with. This will allow them to stay engaged in this learning activity.

How to Use

Students will match the two halves of the puzzles by matching the capital letter to its corresponding lowercase letter.

When to Use:

• Literacy Centre - The puzzles can be placed in a literacy centre for students to complete alone or with a partner.

• Morning Activity - The puzzles can be placed in a morning tub or bin for students to complete as their classmates arrive to class.

• Quiet Time Activity - These puzzles are a perfect addition to any quiet time activity. Students who do not nap during rest time can use these puzzles quietly while their classmates sleep.

• Small Group Activity - Students needing help with matching capital and lowercase letters can work in a small group setting to complete these alphabet puzzles.

These puzzles will fit perfectly inside a task box for easy set up, clean up, and storage.

The alphabet puzzles are low prep, providing a quick activity for teachers to create for their students. The puzzles simply need to be printed on card stock, cut apart, and laminated for durability. From there the students can complete the puzzles as many times as they want.
