A Is For Acorns and Apples!

A fun way to have your students work on upper and lowercase letters is to make mini ABC booklets.

I designed these with some free fonts that I found on the Internet.

back to school ideas, back to school activities, back to school lessons,abc easy reader booklets, abc booklet, abc ideas, abc lessons, abc activities, teaching the alphabet, alphabet ideas, alphabet lessons, alphabet activities, uppercase letter activities, lowercase letter activities, I liked ABC booklets that had a simple sentence to go along with the letter, so that I could start my students along the paths of reading.

The words is and for are part of the Dolch word list, so via repetition, students will soon easily recognize them.

The picture clue will help children figure out the last word, so their self esteem will skyrocket when they can take a completed booklet home to share with their family.

Students trace and write the upper and lowercase letters.  I printed 4-pages on one page, to save on paper and to make just-my-size mini booklets for students to cut apart and sequence.

This will make a nice number sequencing skill for them. I’ve also included a cover and a complete upper and lowercase alphabet set of letters, that they trace for the last page.

Students who complete their booklets early, can go back and color their favorite pages.

When everyone is done, read the booklet as a whole group, to reinforce concepts of print.  This way, students will enjoy sharing their ABC easy reader, with their family, reinforcing lessons learned at school.

No matter what your reason, I think you’ll enjoy these cute alphabet activities.

One of my favorite clipart designers is Laura Strickand.  I used her alphabet graphics to put together the packet: ABC Stuff.

The easy reader alphabet flipbook incorporates 60 Dolch words!  Students trace the word and lowercase letter, which match the cute uppercase picture.

You can also laminate the pages and use them as pocket cards.

I’ve included an ABC anchor chart as well as 26 traceable flashcards, with a cover, so students can make an Itty Bitty booklet.

Play “I Have; Who Has?” by passing out the cards and asking:  “I have A. Who has B?” ˆ

Sprinkle the cards on the floor and have students sequence them, while singing the ABC song.

For a quick center activity, have students trace the upper and lowercase letters on these bookmarks.  To reinforce vowels, have children trace them in a different color.

Students glue the strips to a piece of construction paper. One side has uppercase letters, the other side lowercase.

Add a bit more pizzazz by punching a cut out or gluing a school photo to the bottom.
