Years ago I created a product with 26 letters for my students
along with the workbook I designed. It has been successful and I thought of making all the
letters for all the preschool themes.
Here´s the link to 224 letters in 2 different stores:

Take a look of the collection.
Use these letters as
manipulatives for literacy foundation as they reinforce concept. As they create
their letter they can see and feel the shape, curve, lines of that specific
letter and physically touching the letter. They can trace their letter by
helping their with visual letter recognition. Then, progress into letter sound
as each letter is related to a word that they are learning in English. ESL/EFL
students have to learn a new alphabet and the language associated to it.
The letters will capture students interest because of the novelty of the activity. It can
be an activity to introduce the letters, to review vocabulary within the themes.
Even though it takes time, I suggest that you make your own version to show
students all the ways to make their letters and all the art things that they
use, such as paints, cotton balls, sand, your imagination is the limit.
As you move along the Preschool Book series that you are
working with, help the students learn the letters. The students can make the
craft letters or you can make them for the class and use it as flash letters or
to play games, They work as decoration, too. Review vocabulary and
pronunciation with the letters as they name all the words.
In most ESL books the alphabet is missing ! It is up to us
ESL/EFL teachers to teach the letters of the alphabet in Preschool or
Kindergarten. Make sure that the students can name most of letters, it doesn't
matter the order. By teaching them the letters it will predict that your
students will be able to read in English in the future. Your students will learn the alphabet by doing lots of practice in many different ways.
I will be adding pictures of the letters on my other social media, so you get a chance to see all 224 letters.
I made a swat! game and puzzles out of the shape theme letters.
For the beach theme, I placed all the letters in an old file folder with clear plastic sheets.
Students can easily write the starting letter with a marker and the erase it using wet wipes.
Older students can write the Word.
I created a Board named: Letter Arts and crafts.
