This image I found online, however in my classroom we have something very similar. This picture board uses the letters of the alphabet to represent different objects and brands. In my classroom my teacher also uses the students names and puts them under the corresponding beginning letter. This helps enhance the students learning because it puts emphasis and examples of the sounds letters make. It help the students see that letters can have different sounds in different words. It also helps the students recognize letter sounds with pictures. Sometimes students have difficulty deciphering what sounds letters make and using pictures helps them hear the sounds better. I would recommend this to others because I think students benefit from it. I think students learn best through examples and this is a great representation. It is also fun to include the students names so they can see others that share the same first letter. This is also a fun and easy way to decorate your classroom. I don't think that this could use any modifications, but if you wanted to make it more advanced you could not just use starting letters and sounds. You could include pictures of a letter sound in the middle of the word to make it more complex.
