Bring the alphabet to life in your classroom with these bold and practical Alphabet Cards (Chalkboard). Each card features an uppercase letter, lowercase letter, and a supporting picture, making them a versatile and effective tool for reinforcing letter and sound knowledge with your students.

The clear design and large format make these cards perfect for wall displays, helping to create a print-rich environment where students can constantly engage with the alphabet. The added images provide visual support, helping early learners link letters with familiar objects and sounds to strengthen their phonics understanding.
