Teacher's Guide Instructions

Take one letter and hold it below the first card of the control group. If the letter matches, nod your head using an exaggerated motion and place the letter under its corresponding match. You may want to have a mat placed below your control group to help the student with placement and focus. If the letter does not match, shake your head using an exaggerated motion and turn or flip the letter until it matches.

Continue this method with the next letter as well as the last control card. Repeat the entire process with the remaining letters creating a second row.

Using the peace sign, you will touch the control cards and the first row of letters with your middle finger and your index finger. Say, alike, alike, alike as you move from left to right.

Repeat this process touching the first row and the second row. Say, alike, alike, alike.
