These adorable yellow school bus printables are a fun way for preschool, pre k, kindergarten, and first grade students to work on Learning Alphabet Sounds. Use this back to school printable to introduce children to phonics as they learn the beginning sounds words make while practicing matching upper and lowercase letters too.
Learning Alphabet Sounds
This back to school alphabet activity is such a fun way for students to work on phonemic awareness. There are 26 alphabet school buses to print. Each bus from A to Z contains a featured letter and 3-4 cute clipart of an image with the same beginning sound as the letter on the bus. After using this first day of school activity for learning alphabet sounds, children can match the lowercase letter tires to the correct phonics buses.Â
Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler – you will love this super cute printable perfect for teaching young children the foundational skills they will need to read. I just love educational activities that make learning fun1

ABC Sounds
Start out by printing the buses in color on cardstock or laminating for durability. Then prepare this phonics game by cutting out the buses and wheels. The wheels can be cut out as squares or the wheel only.
Teaching Letter Sounds
To play this ABC Game, students will match the lowercase wheels with the correct bus. The bus has both the uppercase, capital letter and pictures that have the same beginning sound. This is such a fun introduction to teach letter sounds to preschoolers, kindergartners, and grade 1 students. 
Uppercase and Lowercase Letters
This is such a fun back to school themed way to practice matching upper and lowercase letters. Prek, kindergarten, and first grade kids will have fun with this literacy activity perfect for the first day of school. 
Beginning Sounds
There are a couple way to use the beginning sounds element to this activity:
- Have students say the name of the pictures in each bus and listen for the beginning sound
- Cut the school buses in half to make both phonics puzzles and upper and lowercase letter puzzles
- Introduce the letters one-at-a-time as part of a letter of the week curriculum
