A set of German alphabet copying masters for foreign language rooms, designed to contribute to the literacy impact of the environment and adds visual stimulus to learning essential vocabulary in an attractive and easily absorbed format.. The alphabet supports developing language skills for ages 8 to 16 by matching vocabulary with associated graphics for easier interpretation of words. A complete alphabet is usually placed in order around the room to aid alphabetic sequencing and act as visual aids for the teacher, but they could also be used as flash cards. The complete set consists of sixty-seven black and white A4 masters with clear line drawings. The extra letter posters above twenty-six give one and sometimes two alternatives for most letters to allow the display to be tailored to age group or teaching topic. Each letter poster is designed for copying and then hand colouring by pupils to increase their sense of ownership of the words before laminating or mounting on card for display. Alternatively, posters can be put into A4 plastic folders fixed to notice boards to make them easy to change and keep children's attention on them from one lesson to the next. The specially designed Sassoon font is used throughout to support and link to handwriting development for younger pupils and maintain clarity.
