Using Punch Cards

Listen to them say the letter, then watch them punch out all the correct letters. Once they have found them all, they can colour in the picture and the letters.

  • If you want to re-use these cards, laminate them and then clip mini pegs or place pom poms onto the correct letters. Students could also use a dry-erase marker to circle the correct letters. Again, once they have found all the letters, they can trace the letters  with the dry-erase marker.
