Mini alphabet flipbook

One of TPT’s top sellers is the talented Elissa of Mrs. Jones’ Creation Station.  I had the privilege of meeting her at a blog conference last year, and I’m thrilled she’s sharing a guest post with us today!

Here’s Elissa…

When you are looking for ways to teach your students or children the alphabet the Measured Mom is a great place to go. There are so many engaging and fun alphabet activities that can get your toddler and preschooler learning their letters and sounds available to you here. I wanted to add to the abundance of FREE alphabet resources Anna provides with a mini alphabet flipbook.

My preschooler loves this ABC flip book!

As a kindergarten teacher I found myself looking for resources that met the needs of my learners. Some children came to me knowing all of their letters and sounds, while others weren’t about to recognize their own name.

I searched high and low, but was unable to find many that would work for whole group, small group and independent practice, so I created my own. Once my son was born I chose to stay home and learned of the site Teacher’s Pay Teachers. Then it hit me. I could create more alphabet resources to meet the different needs of those little learners in preschool, pre-k, kindergarten and first grade and make them available to teachers and parents!

Teaching the alphabet

As a homeschooling parent or classroom teacher, exposing your children to the alphabet through chants or poems, visual aids, active learning, small group or 1-on-1 instruction and independent practice will help them to learn their letters and sounds and build a strong foundation for reading.

My preschooler loves this ABC flip book!

Looking for an easy-to-read guide to help you reach all readers? If you teach kindergarten through third grade, this is the book for you. Get practical ideas and lesson plan templates that you can implement tomorrow!

Teaching the alphabet to a large group

In the classroom or at home it is important to have time set aside for short 10-15 minute lessons that focus on each letter or a group of letters. Creating different learning experiences is easily done during whole group instruction to meet the needs of your learners so that ALL benefit from this short amount of time.

My preschooler loves this ABC flip book!

Teaching the alphabet to a small group

By working with your children in small groups or having children work together during literacy stations, learners are able to practice what they are learning through hands-on games and activities.

In the classroom setting, I taught many alphabet activities at my teacher table as a warm-up for our time together. This served two goals…it allowed me to see what my learners were able to do and help as needed, as well as introduce an activity that could be used in their word work or literacy stations.

Whether, you are working with play-doh, putting puzzles together, writing the room, or sorting letters, you are guiding your learners through developing alphabet knowledge that will stick.

My preschooler loves this ABC flip book!

Independent practice with the alphabet

This is the part I struggled with the most as a teacher…finding resources to help my learners practice the alphabet independently on THEIR level. I wanted my learners working on their own at different times throughout our literacy block: no partners or groups, just quality independent learning time!

However, not all of my learners were able to complete the same level of work, and some needed more help with certain skills than others. While one child might need extra handwriting practice to form their letters correctly, others needed to become familiar with initial sounds. So I created a variety of printables for various levels of alphabet knowledge, as well as resources that my learners could use to aid their independent practice.

My preschooler loves this ABC flip book!

Free alphabet flipbook!

This is where our FREE resource comes in…during whole group and small group instruction have your learners recite their alphabet flip-chart for the letter(s) they are learning. Providing your learners with a flip-BOOK of their own that models the flip-chart will help them relate the learning throughout the day to their own independent practice.

This book is small enough for a pencil box.  And let’s be real… it’s just plain adorable! (Am I the only one that loves everything in miniature form…so cute!) At only three pages this resource is easy to print.  All you need is a small metal ring that you can grab at your local dollar store or order from Amazon.

If you need more alphabet ideas be sure to check out the resources on this site, as well as, the mega-pack of alphabet resources I have in my Teachers Pay Teachers store. It has been a pleasure sharing my passion of creation with you and I hope that you and your little learners are able to enjoy learning the alphabet together.

    I love your Alphabet Flipbook. When you are teaching that letter of the week you already have pictures cards so they could visualize the letter and the sound with a picture. It’s like Zoophonics. They are small so they will be easy to put away. When you are doing small groups they can hold them themselves and not be all be with big poster boards. Love the idea thank you.

    That’s so generous of you Anna. you always have a special influence on the way we teach with your wonderful creative resources… My toddler is two years now and she already knows the alphabets and their sounds…but can’t teach her to blend two letters. U think i should wait for a while or there’s a way i can do this. Is there any helpful resources for this stage? Thanks in advance

      I would definitely wait on that, Rajaa! In my experience, many bright 4-year-olds can pick this up, but it’s rare for kids who are younger to be able to do it. Focus on the things in this post instead: https://www.themeasuredmom.com/reading-skills-kids-need-theyre-ready-sound-out-words/

    This is a wonderful resource! Thank you for making it available for free.

    I have a question about the design. In the title image for this article, the words and pictures are on top of a white background, which is itself surrounded by a rainbow border. But in the PDF, the rainbow border covers the whole card. I’m worried all the colors will make the words hard to read for my students (I’m teaching English in Japan, so the alphabet is a new concept for many of them).

    Is that how the cards are supposed to look, or is my browser distorting the file somehow?

    I was really excited about having the abc mini flip books accessible for my PreK students from your sight but when printed out the pages all have the colo stripes going across the letters making it very hard to read the words. They’re not clear to see as it looks on your sight.

    I love this website. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I’m already trying to get ready for next school year. Are you able to have a regular size for the mini flipbook? I have 3/4 year olds in the classroom and I’d like to see what will work this year, so if there is a bigger one I think that’ll work great too! Oh I also wanted to start teaching the alphabet different this year too. Instead of going in order. Do you have the link to the order you teach the alphabet? Lol I know it’s a lot to ask for ?

If you made it I would love to know exactly what the dimensions were and where you got you round clips. I used to have a small one and somewhere around moving and life I lost it. I haven’t seen any like this and would love to build one. Thank you so much for all the wonderful products you make for everyone.
