Alphabet Organizer is a great little tool from Read Write Think that students can use to create alphabet charts and books. The idea behind Alphabet Organizer is to help students make visual connections between letters of the alphabet and the first letter of common words. This is accomplished by having students choose a letter of the alphabet, write a word that begins with that letter, then upload a picture that is representative of that word. For example, I chose “D,” wrote “dog,” and upload a picture of my dogs.

Alphabet Organizer allows students to create charts or simple booklets from the words and pictures they’ve uploaded. Completed works can be saved as PDFs, printed, or emailed to teachers.
