Word Wall Words Part I: A-E

Word Wall Words for Pre-K, Letters A-E

This is my gift to you.  Here is a series with over 400 preschool appropriate word wall words starting with each letter of the alphabet.  Word wall words can be hand written on index cards or cut down sentence strips, or typed on some fabulous template you bought online, but the important thing is that your kids see words and recognize that they have meaning!

These words were chosen not because they are easy to spell, or the first words the kids will write, but because my pre-schoolers can identify most pictures of the words by sight.

If you don't have a word wall, make flashcards with some of these words and their corresponding pictures on one side. If you aren't the world's greatest artist, I recommend looking for clip art, and sizing it to about 1.5" x 1.5."  On the other side of the card, write the letter in bold print, upper- and lowercase, so you can play two ways!
