Alphabet Book: Idea #38

Making an alphabet book is a great way to motivate your student to learn letter sounds. They will love the opportunity to be creative in drawing pictures and remembering the sounds they have learned. Here is what you do:

1. All you need is: a pencil, crayons, 26 pieces of paper, and 1 extra page for the book cover that says My ABC Letter Sound Book.

2. After your student has mastered a particular letter sound, give them a piece of paper to add to their ABC Letter Sound Book. For example, if they have mastered the letter sound A, give them a paper that says: 'A is for _______.' 

3. Your student can tell you what they would like to write in the blank and you can help them write it.

4. After they have written the word in the blank, let them draw a picture to go with it.

5. It is okay if they do the letters out of order, as long as the pages are put in the correct order at the end.

6. Once your student has mastered all 26 letters and has drawn a picture for each one, put the pages in the correct abc order and staple the book together. Kids love making books and will enjoy showing their book to their family and friends. The book can become a great reference and constant reminder to your student.
