Alphabet Puzzles: Idea #72

Don't you just love puzzles? Kids love doing them too, as long as they aren't too difficult. A fun way to practice letter sounds with your student is to have them do an alphabet puzzle. Here are few different kinds of puzzles that are out there to use:

1. A simple puzzle that just has the letters. Have your student say the sound each letter makes as they put it in the correct spot.
