Alphabet sound groups

I split the alphabet into 5 groups according to the letters sound, because my adult elementary students have dificulties memorizing and they usually mix some letters with different sounds. 

There are several exercises to be done in class, and the teacher will say the alphabet while they do some of them. Others require they say the letters, spell some words, and the last exercise is to be done in pairs. 

Now I prefer to use the sound representation (that may vary according to your mother tongue) with adults because it makes more sense for them and they learn easier.

Problemas com downloads

Hospedei a maioria dos arquivos no 4shared e não sei o que aconteceu, aparentemente alguns links foram "quebrados", então tive algumas reclamações de leitores que não estavam conseguindo fazer o download. Encontrei outro site para hospedar as apostilas, e o melhor é que o download já inicia direto (hot link), então fica mais fácil, principalmente para quem não tem muito jeito com internet.

Dependendo do local de hospedagem o download vai abrir direto, ou você terá que clicar em outra página. Em alguns sites você terá que esperar alguns segundos. Outros já fiz upload em formato GIF e é só clicar na figura e imprimir, sem necessidade de fazer o download. Em outros é possível visualizar o documento sem fazer download. 

Em qualquer tipo de download, caso você encontre dificuldade basta entrar em contato deixando um comentário, ou acessando o "Formulário de Contato". Caso eu esteja online no msn (veja na barra lateral) você poderá obter ajuda na hora. Outra opção é acessar os tutoriais do blog (procure na aba lateral).
