If your small groups feel more chaotic than productive… this is for you 👀
I used to spend SO much time managing materials instead of actually teaching.
Letters everywhere, kids off task, and not enough meaningful phonics practice 😩
These alphabet word work trays from changed everything.
Now my students are:
✔ practicing letter recognition
✔ matching sounds
✔ building simple words
—all in a hands-on, structured way that actually keeps them engaged 🙌
I love that everything stays contained (no more mess!) and the color-coded trays make organization SO easy.
This is perfect for small groups and aligns with the Science of Reading—so you know you’re targeting the skills that matter 💛
If you’re looking for low-prep, effective phonics practice… this is it.

Do you add picture cards to your word wall?
Swipe to see what I did back in first grade.
The cards really helped my students with writing and vocabulary.
This year I’m making the switch to a sound wall and I’m thinking about using these picture cards again but this time with the sounds they go along with.
What do you think? Will be it be too much for kinders?
I have the vision in my head but til I get back into my room I’m torn as to what to do! 🤦🏼♀️
