What’s included?
This pdf download includes x5 landscape orientation sheets featuring every alphabet letter and clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate letters for (window) display.

What’s it for?
These letters have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the letters look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the coloured letter shape ‘falls’ depends on the position of the letters in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole alphabet together to encourage learners to recognise and name each letter (and sound) and practise the order of the alphabet. The letters can of course be repositioned to create words and labels as you choose. The UPPERCASE version of this resource is also available in my TES shop /teaching-resource/-13180352

This resource would support work on shadows, light/dark and better understanding the shape of lowercase letters to support greater recognition.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through letters/words when the sun comes out!

Resource Details
The letters are all in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 220-250, so a good, ‘easy to read’ size. There are x5 pages. The first includes instructions and the remaining pages all of the alphabet letters.

Suggestions
Printing and making these letters out of white card is recommended - paper is too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive online(!)

Also recommend also backing every letter in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however it is twice the work and time.

Important message…
ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of this resource would be great, thank you!
