The alphabet is one of the first building blocks of reading and writing. It helps students recognize letters faster and build a strong foundation for literacy. The same concept applies to learning how to cope with big emotions — organizing coping skills from A to Z makes them easier to understand and recall.
The Alphabet Line for Classroom poster takes this idea further by pairing each letter with a coping skill. The colorful and easy-to-read design helps students associate letters with practical ways to care for their mental health, such as A for "Asking for help" and B for "Belly Breathing." This alphabet line comes in different sizes - 1 letter per page, 2 letters per page, and 4 letters per page. It also includes our 1-page Coping Skills Alphabet poster.
Learning coping skills helps reduce stress, which makes it easier for kids and teens to handle challenges. Caring adults can make the most of this resource by turning them into laminated flashcards. The letters can be displayed on the walls of classrooms, bedrooms, or counseling offices.
