Some call this strategy "Old-School," while others call it a "Classic," but as a way to organize, practice, review and help special needs learners master alphabet knowledge, you would be hard pressed to find a more charming way to journey through the kindergarten year than with the Letter People as your guides.
For some "Classic" resources go to:

Remember if you choose to use the Letter-of-the-Week method and you start with the letter "A", it will be well after the winter break before you teach some of the most frequent letters used in common sight words. I believe that it is best to begin teaching the most frequently encountered letters first, then teach all the rest of the letters as quickly as the individual needs of your students permit. To add "pizazz points" to the engagement power of your instruction, try using the Letter People as a hook for practice, review, intervention and fun, fun, fun! The ABC Express is leaving the train station for Letter Land, so it's time to get on board and start chugging! Choo! Choo!
