b-d Quick Alphabet Magnetic Strip
BDQLG - $16  $5.00

BDQSM - $12  $3.00

The b-d Quick Alphabet Large is 36" x 2".  It is a primary print magnetized alphabet strip.  Lower case b and d are slightly larger and highlighted in yellow.  Students can quickly find letters that are often confused when reading or writing. The small strip is 28.25" x 1.5" and is designed for placement on our A-Store easel when working with students individually.

   
Practice Tablets

These six tablets clearly assist in demonstrating correct letter formation on a wipe-off surface.  Each of five tablets shows a yellow highlighted "start-shape" and the corresponding letters that can be formed.   The sixth tablet is blank for s, u and z (no "start-shape") and can also be used for practice.

One side has primary paper lines (used when making the transition to lined paper) and the other side is unlined.  There is room enough for two or three repetitions, so the teacher can model, and the student can follow along, or the teacher can write along with the child, verbally describing letter strokes.

PT02    $5 ea.  $2.50 ea.
This magnetic piece attaches to the easel and displays the tablets for easy retrieval.  A second opening stores the wipe-off markers.

Sentence Generator Combination

The Sentence Generator Kit has 66 pieces when finished (assembly is required) and includes 2 tasks (1 magnetic and 1 table top).  The kit is designed to be used with the Sentence Strips. 

To assemble, peel off the round pictures and attach to one side of the foam circle.   Peel off the magnet and attach to the back of the foam.  This will make your different pictures that will be used for the 2 different tasks.
Task #1 - Display 4 or 5 pictures on a magnetic writing board.  The teacher should have a list of the child's known writing words.  The child generates a sentence using the picture in place of a word.  The child writes his/her known words while the teacher shares the pen and writes the other words.  Display our punctuation set on the board as well - then "choose" an appropriate ending for each sentence.  (This creates an opportunity to talk about punctuation as it occurs naturally, without any "teaching".
Task #2 - Peel off 20 square pictures and attach to one side of foam.  There are no magnets because this is a table-top task.  The teacher uses the child's known writing words to create missing-word sentences.   (These may be as simple as "A ______." or "The ______." or "I go _______." or "A _______ looks.")  You can add missing word sentences throughout roaming as you note the new words a child can write.  Display some of the 20 square pictures and several of the "sentences".  The child inserts a picture and reads the "sentence" aloud.  Kids love to make "silly" sentences so using names works well in this exercise.  I have discovered that this task promotes visual focus on known words and again, there is no teaching involved.  (I can create the sentences for all of my students in about 15 minutes!)
