✏️ NAME 🌈 to get started with these EDITABLE NAME ✏️ NAME 🌈 to get started with these EDITABLE NAME BOOKS! ❤️

It’s something they already know. Something that belongs to THEM. And they get so excited when they start recognizing those letters and realizing…hey, I can write my name!!

So we use that excitement to sneak in a whole lot of beginning alphabet + phonics work.

And we don’t just trace it 47 times. 😂

We rainbow write it, hunt for the letters, touch + say them, practice the sounds, sign it, type it, make it with stickers, tear + glue it, Q-tip paint it AND trace + write it.

Basically…we learn that name every way we possibly can. 😂❤️

And you just type in your class list and the books are made for you. Your whole class. In seconds. 🙌

Such a fun way to start those first few weeks of school.

I TRULY love creating a beautiful classroom. I lov I TRULY love creating a beautiful classroom. I love making a space that feels warm, welcoming, and exciting for kids. And trust me - I’ll go overboard on it too. 

But I’ve also learned that there has to be a limit.

If we’re pouring every ounce of our time, money, and emotional energy into our classrooms, eventually there’s nothing left for ourselves…or for the children sitting in front of us.

A beautiful classroom is wonderful.

But a teacher who has rested, eaten lunch, protected her weekend, enjoyed her summer, and still has the emotional energy to love her students…

That’s even better.

Enjoy the fading bits of summer 🩷 AND 🩷 Have a wonderful school year!

Teaching the alphabet should be more than memorizing letters…

It should be full of singing, creating, reading, building, and those little “I DID IT!” moments that make kids fall in love with learning. ❤️

That’s exactly why I created this bundle.

Instead of searching for a different activity every day, you’ll have everything you need to teach each letter in a hands-on, engaging way.

Inside you’ll find:

📚 Interactive emergent readers
🍎 Interactive alphabet crafts
🎶 Anchor charts with simple alphabet songs
👑 Alphabet hats
💛 Alphabet bracelets
🌈 Play-Doh letter activities
✏️ Printable worksheets for extra practice

Every activity works together to build:
✨ Letter recognition
✨ Letter sounds
✨ Fine motor skills
✨ Early reading confidence

💬 I’d love to know… what’s your favorite way to teach letters? Crafts, books, songs, sensory bins, or Play-Doh?

💛 Save this post for back-to-school planning and share it with a teacher friend who loves hands-on learning!

Learning letters doesn’t have to mean standing at the board while students lose interest.

These interactive anchor charts get everyone pointing, singing, reading, tracing, and participating together—so even your most reluctant learners stay engaged.

Some children need to touch learning before it sticks.

Play-Doh turns letter practice into something students actually ask to do while quietly strengthening those little hands for writing.

The best review activity?

The one students can’t wait to wear home.

When children become part of the lesson, they remember it longer—and parents instantly see what they’re learning.

Sometimes the smallest activities create the biggest excitement.

These bracelets are a quick, meaningful way to celebrate each new letter while giving students another opportunity to practice recognition t
