It's always nice to have a great idea and all the tools to make it happen. The class can use these nursery rhyme and alphabet cards to teach each other letter recognition and letter sound correspondence. There is a full set of alphabet and ten different nursery rhyme cards to laminate and use. Kids hold up letter cards while their partner circles all the instances of that letter on his nursery rhyme card.
