Letter of the Week AAC Materials

All the materials you need for a successful Letter of the Week theme in your special education classroom or speech therapy!

There are so many great reasons to use a "letter of the week" approach with early language and pre-literate learners including:

• Easy to organize literacy, crafts, and activities around a new letter each week.
• Simple to remember for staff and families as they work with students in a variety of settings.
• Provides ideas for more than half of the year (we just repeat the alphabet 2x to get through the full year).
• Builds off of previous letters so you can have repeated practice all year long (never abandon one letter once the week is over!).
• Buy in from administration as to how a classroom is working towards Common Core Standards
