Description
Pack your virtual bags and come along on a real-life safari adventure in Kenya! In this engaging Boom Cards deck, students will explore the alphabet from A to Z while practicing essential early literacy and keyboarding skills. Each slide features a real-life photograph taken on safari in Kenya, showcasing animals, plants, or safari trucks that match each letter of the alphabet. Here’s how it works: See the word: Each card presents a high-quality safari image paired with a written word. Make it disappear (or not!): Students can click on the word to make it disappear, adding a memory challenge—can they remember how to spell it? Type it out: In the box below, students type the word from memory. For added support, they can leave the word visible and copy it to build confidence. This deck supports differentiated instruction and helps learners build skills at their own pace. It’s perfect for independent practice, small groups, centers, or at-home learning. Foundational Skills Addressed: Phonemic Awareness: Listening to and identifying sounds in words Phonics: Connecting sounds to letters and spelling patterns Word Recognition: Reading familiar and decodable words Spelling: Practicing conventional spelling of grade-level words Keyboarding: Developing fine motor and digital literacy skills through typing Memory & Attention: Engaging working memory to recall and reproduce spelling
