Phonics Alphabet Wheels – Initial Letters

One of my favourite alphabet printables are the Alphabet Wheels – These are so cool! This set consists of 5 easy to make Alphabet Wheels that cover the initial letters. Children turn the wheel to match up an alphabet letter with a picture that begins with the same letter sound.

The seven-page file has a page of materials and directions, a My Alphabet Wheel top wheel with an Open the door! flap, and five letter wheels. Each letter wheel has five or six letters and pictures that begin with those sounds. The directions note that the letter x is not included.

Ways to use it

• Have students cut out the wheels and join them with a brass fastener.
• Have students turn the wheel and match each letter with a picture.
• Say the name of each picture and its beginning sound.
• Use one wheel per day while you review the letters.
• Set the wheels out at a phonics center.
• Send a wheel home for practice with families.
