I made my letters to fit on regular 8.5x11 card stock. I did purchase a couple of the graphics when they were REALLY good, but I've found that purchasing the rights to use really good graphics for teaching are often worth it and the fees are minimal. ALL of the sources for the fonts and graphics that I used to create my alphabet are included at the end of this post. I'm happy with my final product, although it's not perfect and I may continue to tweak it before I finally print it, I thought that I would go ahead and share what I have. I used an OLD version of Publisher and an OLD version of Powerpoint to edit graphics as needed. After looking and looking and looking and looking I finally decided to create my own. I found some basic letters that I was going to use as the basis for my word wall, but I decided they weren't quite big enough so I have been looking for letters for some time.
soooooo I'm revisiting word walls and trying to synthesis everything that I put on my wall so that everything is accessible, instructional and totally music. I don't know about you, but I don't have enough wall space in my room to tolerate any space takers. I have never been happy with how my word wall has functioned in my room.I've sort of borrowed and shoved together lots of ideas and ended up with a word wall that was nothing more than a 'space taker'.
