Minimal Prep & Reusable

Task cards are great resources around the classroom because they are easy to set up and use each year. To prep this alphabet activity, print the materials, cut them out, and laminate them for durability. The pieces fit into photo boxes you can find at Walmart or online.

You will need some clips or clothespins for students to select the correct object on the side of the cards! Those fit nicely in the bins as well.

If you don’t want to use photo bins, a small basket from the Dollar Store works just as well! It’s easy to swap out the materials or cards each week or month as you change the theme or subject.

Differentiating the Gingerbread Alphabet Task Cards

To use these alphabet task cards, students will place a clip on each object that starts with the letter shown in the middle. The cards each have three correct answers. Based on their skill level, have them find 1, 2, or 3 objects to clip.

Make your life easier by adding a self-checking tool to the back of the cards. Place a small mark or dot on the back for students to glance at once they make their choices. You’ll have to teach them not to look first, but over time, they will want to be correct before flipping it over.

The task cards are perfect for independent literacy centers or small group rotations. Intervention materials like this are great for helping kids where they are!
