Unifix Alphabet Cubes!


I LOVE my connecting Unifix Alphabet Cubes, and so do my students! Children can "build" words by connecting cubes. Lower-case letters are printed on one side of each cube, with the upper-case letters printed on the opposite side. Set children loose with these and let them discover how many words they can construct.


For more ideas, learning centers, and printables for teaching the alphabet, take a peek at my ABC Books Thematic Unit!

Using Magnetic letters with a favorite book!  When given opportunities to explore magnetic letters along with a favorite book spelling can happen spontaneously!  CHOICE can equal LEARNING with MEANING and PURPOSE!!
