Hi Annette,
Using your word-processing program, print out a set of "wing-ding" symbols. These symbols become the new alphabet! Each of the wing-dings correspond to a letter of the alphabet.
Duplicate the wing-dings for the class.
Take a simple children's book and duplicate the story for the students. Then have them "translate" the storybook English into wing-dingish??? It is very hard and very instructual!!
