Guest Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 What about using clip art, or google images.
Lorna Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Try this site http://www.kizclub.com/consonant.html I downloaded loads of pictures last year in colour and use them for inital letter sorting. The children relly enjoy these activities. L
Guest Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Does anyone know a website where there are illustrations for each sound of the alphabet - trying to make some new phonic resources and have cut so many magazines to bits its driving me nuts!!!!!! 37994[/snapback] This drives me nuts, too! We use pictures on the name labels which children use for self-registration etc, so I'm always looking for good clip art. The tricky thing is that they have to match the initial sound of the child's name. So charlotte may have a chef, but so may Siobhan. And if we have lots of children with the same initial sound, it becomes very difficult - eg Amanda, Alex, Adam..... There's a Featherstone Little Book of Phonics which is just a list of words for each letter of the alphabet and I find this very useful when I run out of inspiration (which is very frequently). I use Microsoft Word, and access their online clipart. I'll be watching with interest to see what recommendations you get! Maz

Guest Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Maz, I had the same problem with name labels and when I was chatting with a colleague who doesn't like drawing (we've drawn our own!) she said she used the same image for those who start with the same initial letter or phoneme. I thought about it and decided to do like wise but alter them very slightly, on the basis that the children would really have to look carefully for their, or their friends' names and not rely totally on the image. It seems to have worked out well. Angela

mundia Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 hi there Jackie. I did my own from clip art but they are used mroe as an alphabet frieze - just one pic per A4 for each letter. If this owuld be of any use give me a shout...
Jackie A. Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 This is my own version of an alphabet frieze. I simply searched microsoft clipart for suitable pictures. You could cut and paste these as you wish. Jackie alphabet_frieze.doc
