What is an alphabet chart?

An alphabet chart is useful for displaying the alphabet letters, either

• on a wall
• as part of a book, or
• by itself.

It can be a tool from which letters are introduced and taught.

An alphabet chart is a single page that lists the entire alphabet, or selected parts of the alphabet.

The size of an alphabet chart can range from a wall chart large enough to be seen by a group to a small leaflet.

An alphabet chart usually contains the following for each letter:

• a keyword using the letter
• an illustration of the keyword, and
• the letter in small and capital letters.

Here is an example of an alphabet chart:

• Alphabet chart: Africa

• Concept module: alphabet chart
• In overview module: Glossary (Literacy): A
• In modular book: Glossary of literacy terms
• In document collection: Reference materials
• In bookshelf: Literacy
