Preschool Projects of the Week will continue through the summer! Learning never takes a “vacation”!
Preschool Project of the Week – Alphabet Book
Preschool Skills: Letter recognition (upper and lower case), letter sounds, associating pictures with words, understanding whole words as individual letters – Fine motor (cutting and gluing) for the actual construction of the book
We started working on ours at home several months ago.
This is a great way to put all those FREE magazines to good use!
And at the very minimum all you’ll need is construction paper, glue and scissors. (And some way to “bind” the book together, staples, hole punch with string, etc.) At school, I actually hole punch the pages and keep them in a three ring binder since it’s a year long class project.
We’re not following the one-letter-a-week approach with the one we’re working on at home – but it’s definitely not a one day project. Which is good! If you need a few minutes of peace, you can pull out a magazine and the alphabet book and assign them a couple letters to find! Bug has asked every day for a week to work on his so we do a little each day.
He found the letter “C” in the word “count” and I decided to include the whole word. Including whole words helps them to understand how letters work together.
