Rubber Stamps Book: Idea #89

Kids love to use rubber stamps. To get your student excited about mastering letter sounds, have them make an ABC book using stamps. It might be fun to have a theme like: 'My Christmas ABC Book' or 'My Animal ABC Book' or 'My Food ABC Book'. This just forces your student to be a little more creative. Naturally, you would make this ABC book like any other, but use letter stamps. You can find some great stamp options on the following website: http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/.

Here is how to make the ABC stamp book:

1. Give your student 27 pieces of paper (1 page for the book cover and 26 pages for each letter of the alphabet).

2. Have your student chose a theme for their ABC book (whether it be Christmas, or animals, or food, etc.).

3. Your student should use the stamps for the letters. So one page your student would put a letter A stamp. On another page the letter B and so on.

4. Once your student has a letter stamped on each page, have them think of something that begins each letter sound. Let them use markers to draw something on each page (since kids LOVE markers). They may draw a snowflake on the s page or reindeer on the r page. They don't need to write the word, just draw it.

5. When your student has completed each letter sound, have them decorate the cover and staple the pages in ABC order. Your student can use this book as a reference and review. What a fun way to practice letter sounds.

Have an enjoyable time!
