The Alphabet Card is a tool for helping primary grade children as they learn to write.  It’s meant to help children learn how to form letters, and also to help make the letter/sound associations stronger. 

The images on the Alphabet Card were carefully researched and tested. The font was chosen on the basis of what most closely replicates actual handwriting rather than book print. Three digraphs are included – “ch,” “sh,” and “th, - which are the most commonly used by primary-grade writers.  

The trim size of the card (7” x 9.5”) was established so children can handle it while writing at their desks; it also fits into composition notebooks. The “poster” version, for teacher demonstration purposes, folds out to twice the size of the student version.  Both are printed on sturdy, laminated stock. 

The development of this card was spearheaded by Marilyn Duncan.  Marilyn has been in education for over thirty years; she has been a teacher, a teacher leader in a school supported by The Learning Network®, a Learning Network coordinator and a trainer of coordinators. She has currently completed The Kindergarten Book on teaching in kindergarten and My Book used for assessment.  The illustrator of the images, Joanne Friar, is the illustrator of several Books for Young Learners books including the popular “Max and Toby” books (Dogs at School, No Dogs Allowed, and Dogs Love to Play Ball) as well as Crabbing Time, Jump the Broom, and The Freedom Quilt.
