Assembling and Caring for Alphabet Vests with Picture
and Letter Cards
Before introducing Alphabet Vests with Picture and
Letter Cards, make copies of this Really Good Stuff®
Activity Guide and file the pages for future use. Or,
download another copy of it from our Web site at
www.reallygoodstuff.com. Cut the Picture Cards and
Letter Cards apart and place them in alphabetical order
or according to how you will introduce the letters. Store
the Cards in a zippered plastic bag.
Keep your Alphabet Vests in good condition by wiping
them occasionally with a damp sponge. Fold the
Alphabet Vests horizontally along the top of the
pockets for easy storage.
Introducing Alphabet Vests with Picture and Letter
Cards
Choose a student to be a model and show students how
to put on a Vest by opening the hook-and-loop closure,
placing the Vest around the neck, and pressing the hookand-loop closure shut. Explain to students that they are
going to use Vests just like this one to learn about
alphabet letters and their sounds.
Use the Letter Cards to introduce students to the
alphabet and to the order of the letters. Have five
students don Vests and form a line at the front of the
room. Starting with capital A, place the Letter Cards in
order (two in each Vest) moving from left to right. Point
to and say the name of each letter and have students
repeat the letter after you. Remove the Cards from the
Vests and place them in order on your marker tray. Allow
each student to pass his or her Vest to another
student. Place the next set of Letter Cards in the Vests,
say the letters, and have students repeat them. Repeat
these steps with the remaining six Letter Cards to
complete the alphabet. After all of the letters are in the
marker tray, choose a student to point to each letter as
the class says the alphabet together. Repeat the
process with the lowercase Letter Cards.
Matching Uppercase Letters to Lowercase Letters
Select five students to don Vests. Choose five uppercase
Letter Cards or have students randomly choose Cards
and place in their Vests. Place the matching lowercase
Letter Cards on the marker tray in random order and
include other letters as well. Point to the letter in a
student’s Vest, say the name of the letter, and choose a
student to select the matching lowercase Letter Card. If
the student is correct, he or she hands the Card to the
appropriate student who places it in the pocket beside
the uppercase Letter Card. Continue choosing students
until all of the letters have been matched. Then repeat
this process starting with the lowercase Letter Cards in
the Vests and matching uppercase Letter Cards to place
in the marker tray. Play until all of the uppercase and
lowercase letters have been matched.
What Comes After?
Place an uppercase Letter Card or a lowercase Letter
Card in the left pocket of each of five Vests. Place the
Cards of the letters that come after each of those
letters in the marker tray. Have five students come
forward and have each of them put on one of the Vests
and stand in front of the class. Have one of the
students wearing a Vest step forward and have the class
say the letter that is in his or her Vest. Then ask
students what letter that is on the board comes after
this letter. Ask a volunteer to come forward, pick the
Card he or she thinks comes after, and hand it to the
student wearing the Vest so that he or she can it tuck
into the right pocket. If the letter is correct, move onto
the next student with a Vest. If that letter is incorrect,
have students try again.
Use this process also to practice letters that come
before letters. Simply place the Letter Cards in the right
pocket of the Vest and pull the letters that come before
each of the letters. For an added challenge, do these
activities using Picture Cards.
Introducing the Picture Cards
Select four Picture Cards, each for a different letter, and
place one of the Cards in each of the left pockets of four
Vests. (Note: Initially, be sure to include both consonant

and vowel Picture Cards so that you can show students
that the vowel Cards have a yellow background and the
consonant Cards have a blue background.) If you
introduce letters alphabetically, start with the Cards for
the letters A, B, C and D. Pull the Letter Cards, both
uppercase and lowercase, that correspond to the Picture
Cards you have selected, and line them up on your
whiteboard marker tray or some other place where all
students can see them easily.
Have students put on the Vests. Point to the Picture
Card in the first student’s Vest, and ask students to
name the picture on the Card. After a student says the
correct word, have all students say the word together.
Ask students to say the sound that starts the word. If
they have difficulty with this, say the sound and then
have the students repeat it after you. Once you have
repeated the initial sound and the word several times
with students, point to the Letter Cards on the tray. Ask
volunteers to point to the Letter Cards that have the
same letters as the words and pictures in the Vest. Have
the volunteers come forward, take the correct Letter
Card off the board, and hand it to the student wearing
the appropriate Vest. Point to the Letter Card, and say
the name of that letter. Have students repeat the letter
name. Then say the name of the picture again, and say
that the word starts with the letter in the pocket. For
example, indicate that apple starts with the letter A.
Continue through the alphabet introducing Picture Cards
for each letter.
Introducing More Picture Cards
Choose the letter you wish to work on and place all of the
Picture Cards for that letter in the marker tray along
with other Picture Cards that do not match. (Note:
There are four Picture Cards for each vowel [two for the
short sound and 2 for the long sound], four Picture
Cards for the letters C and G [two for the soft sound
and two for the hard sound], and two Picture Cards for
all of the other consonants.) Choose a student to wear a
Vest and place the Letter Card in the pocket. Ask
students if they see a Picture Card on the tray that
starts with the letter that is in the Vest. If they are
unable to identify a correct Card right away, say the word
that names the picture on the Card and have students
repeat it, emphasizing the initial sound in the word. Have
another student choose a Picture Card that matches
the letter. If the student is correct, tuck that Card into
the other pocket on the Vest and have that student put
on another Vest. Point to the Picture Card, the Letter
Card, and indicate, for example, that ape starts with the
letter A. Have students look for more Picture Cards to
place in the second and third Vests until all of the
Pictures Cards for that letter are displayed. Return the
Picture Cards to the marker tray, choose another Letter
Card to place in the first Vest, and repeat the process.
Make Your Own Picture Cards
Make more Picture Cards for the Alphabet Vests: Copy
the Picture Card Templates Reproducible, cut them out,
and write the word in the bottom section of the card.
Either draw a picture or glue a photograph of the item in
the top section of the card and laminate the cards for
durability.
Turn making new picture cards into a literacy center
activity: Supply the card templates, crayons or markers
for drawing, and magazines, scissors, and glue sticks for
making picture cards in your literacy center. Write words
on the cards and have students cut and paste pictures
from magazines or draw their own pictures. Laminate the
students’ picture cards to use in the Vests.
Picture Card Challenge
As students become more proficient at matching Letter
Cards to Picture Cards, make the matching activities
more challenging by cutting the words off the bottom of
the Picture Cards. Then have students match the Picture
Cards to the Letter Cards without the word clue at the
bottom. To challenge students even further, place these
word cards on a table and have students match the
words to the Picture Cards in the Vests.
All About Letters
Use the All About Letters Reproducible to give students
practice in writing upper- and lowercase letters and
drawing pictures to match the letters: Make a copy of
the All About Letters Reproducible and cut it in two. On
one of the sheets, write the letter you want students to
practice on the line under the words All About the Letter.
If you want, write the letter in dotted form on each
handwriting line for students to trace. Copy the
completed reproducible and distribute them to students.
Tell students to write the letters on the handwriting
lines, then either draw or cut and paste pictures of
objects that start with that letter in the space.

Letter Cards or have students randomly choose Cards
and place in their Vests. Place the matching lowercase
Letter Cards on the marker tray in random order and
include other letters as well. Point to the letter in a
student’s Vest, say the name of the letter, and choose a
student to select the matching lowercase Letter Card. If
the student is correct, he or she hands the Card to the
appropriate student who places it in the pocket beside
the uppercase Letter Card. Continue choosing students
until all of the letters have been matched. Then repeat
this process starting with the lowercase Letter Cards in
the Vests and matching uppercase Letter Cards to place
in the marker tray. Play until all of the uppercase and
lowercase letters have been matched.
What Comes After?
Place an uppercase Letter Card or a lowercase Letter
Card in the left pocket of each of five Vests. Place the
Cards of the letters that come after each of those
letters in the marker tray. Have five students come
forward and have each of them put on one of the Vests
and stand in front of the class. Have one of the
students wearing a Vest step forward and have the class
say the letter that is in his or her Vest. Then ask
students what letter that is on the board comes after
this letter. Ask a volunteer to come forward, pick the
Card he or she thinks comes after, and hand it to the
student wearing the Vest so that he or she can it tuck
into the right pocket. If the letter is correct, move onto
the next student with a Vest. If that letter is incorrect,
have students try again.
Use this process also to practice letters that come
before letters. Simply place the Letter Cards in the right
pocket of the Vest and pull the letters that come before
each of the letters. For an added challenge, do these
activities using Picture Cards.

and vowel Picture Cards so that you can show students
that the vowel Cards have a yellow background and the
consonant Cards have a blue background.) If you
introduce letters alphabetically, start with the Cards for
the letters A, B, C and D. Pull the Letter Cards, both
uppercase and lowercase, that correspond to the Picture
Cards you have selected, and line them up on your
whiteboard marker tray or some other place where all
students can see them easily.
Have students put on the Vests. Point to the Picture
Card in the first student’s Vest, and ask students to
name the picture on the Card. After a student says the
correct word, have all students say the word together.
Ask students to say the sound that starts the word. If
they have difficulty with this, say the sound and then
have the students repeat it after you. Once you have
repeated the initial sound and the word several times
with students, point to the Letter Cards on the tray. Ask
volunteers to point to the Letter Cards that have the
same letters as the words and pictures in the Vest. Have
the volunteers come forward, take the correct Letter
Card off the board, and hand it to the student wearing
the appropriate Vest. Point to the Letter Card, and say
the name of that letter. Have students repeat the letter
name. Then say the name of the picture again, and say
that the word starts with the letter in the pocket. For
example, indicate that apple starts with the letter A.
Continue through the alphabet introducing Picture Cards
for each letter.
Introducing More Picture Cards
Choose the letter you wish to work on and place all of the
Picture Cards for that letter in the marker tray along
with other Picture Cards that do not match. (Note:
There are four Picture Cards for each vowel [two for the
short sound and 2 for the long sound], four Picture
Cards for the letters C and G [two for the soft sound
and two for the hard sound], and two Picture Cards for
all of the other consonants.) Choose a student to wear a
Vest and place the Letter Card in the pocket. Ask
students if they see a Picture Card on the tray that
starts with the letter that is in the Vest. If they are
unable to identify a correct Card right away, say the word
that names the picture on the Card and have students
repeat it, emphasizing the initial sound in the word. Have
another student choose a Picture Card that matches
the letter. If the student is correct, tuck that Card into
the other pocket on the Vest and have that student put
on another Vest. Point to the Picture Card, the Letter
Card, and indicate, for example, that ape starts with the
letter A. Have students look for more Picture Cards to
place in the second and third Vests until all of the
Pictures Cards for that letter are displayed. Return the
Picture Cards to the marker tray, choose another Letter
Card to place in the first Vest, and repeat the process.
Make Your Own Picture Cards
Make more Picture Cards for the Alphabet Vests: Copy
the Picture Card Templates Reproducible, cut them out,
and write the word in the bottom section of the card.
Either draw a picture or glue a photograph of the item in
the top section of the card and laminate the cards for
durability.
Turn making new picture cards into a literacy center
activity: Supply the card templates, crayons or markers
for drawing, and magazines, scissors, and glue sticks for
making picture cards in your literacy center. Write words
on the cards and have students cut and paste pictures
from magazines or draw their own pictures. Laminate the
students’ picture cards to use in the Vests.
Picture Card Challenge
As students become more proficient at matching Letter
Cards to Picture Cards, make the matching activities
more challenging by cutting the words off the bottom of
the Picture Cards. Then have students match the Picture
Cards to the Letter Cards without the word clue at the
bottom. To challenge students even further, place these
word cards on a table and have students match the
words to the Picture Cards in the Vests.
All About Letters
Use the All About Letters Reproducible to give students
practice in writing upper- and lowercase letters and
drawing pictures to match the letters: Make a copy of
the All About Letters Reproducible and cut it in two. On
one of the sheets, write the letter you want students to
practice on the line under the words All About the Letter.
If you want, write the letter in dotted form on each
handwriting line for students to trace. Copy the
completed reproducible and distribute them to students.
Tell students to write the letters on the handwriting
lines, then either draw or cut and paste pictures of
objects that start with that letter in the space.
