While S might seem like a straightforward and relatively simple letter, I’ve chosen to make it the star of our English alphabet – or should I say, the leading lady! Throughout the years, I’ve been creating teaching resources and sharing a wealth of materials. Those familiar with my teaching style know that I’m quite passionate about incorporating stories into my lessons. That’s why I’ve decided to start sharing some fresh, printable material on RESCHOOL that hasn’t been seen before. These resources have been tried and tested in my own classes and carefully selected based on their ability to captivate students, but with a unique twist.
Let’s kick things off with Supergirl and her enchanting red cape, which possesses a special, almost magical quality. Now, I won’t spill the beans here, but I can assure you it aligns with a particular belief of Supergirl’s: ‘Don’t seek what you want but what you need.’✨ Because, just like all of us, Supergirl has her distinct character, habits, cherished friends, goals, and beliefs.
You can access this material through the following links
- A PowerPoint presentation suitable for display on screens or interactive boards
- A PDF containing printable worksheets
- Another PDF that can be used as a printable card game
- An audiovisual video providing detailed explanations, as if I were right there with you, accessible from the comfort of your home or even in your car. One teacher, who’s also a mom, mentioned listening to it with headphones while managing household chores!
- A large, hands-on cardboard project to construct a Supergirl, an activity that can be completed in record time in the classroom!
I’ve specifically designed this material for students who are encountering letters for the first time, those who are meeting the letter S for the very first time! The letter presentation is crafted as a captivating fairy tale! It’s versatile, suitable for parents or educators working with kids aged 2 and above. It proves to be an excellent fit for preschool levels and Grade 1, offering step-by-step guidance towards natural reading and writing, all while ensuring a highly enjoyable experience!
Earlier today, as I shared the letter S with a couple of pre-Junior classes, each student left the room clutching their very own Supergirl, quietly whispering Sssssssss… It was heartwarming to witness their enthusiasm as they believed they were soaring through the skies with their newfound superhero companion! The universal appeal of Supergirl’s magic seems to captivate learners of all ages.
So, how about you? Can you resist the enchanting powers of Supergirl?
Best, Sophia❤
