The New Alphabet Chart

I ran across this alphabet chart and immediately thought of one of my students who happens to love anything related to the iPhone, computers and really just about anything "techie."



First, I laughed, and then I wondered how I could use it. Here is what I came up with:

1 - teach the alphabet
2- teach pointing, counting, sequencing, and vocabulary
3- use the icons as conversation prompts
4- make two boards, cut them out and make a memory game to teach attention and focus
5- have your students think of more words that each letter is associated with
6- use the icons for predicting and "if..then" statements ("if I drop the iPhone in the water....")

What ideas can you come up with?
