Why not try one of these book-making ideas with your child or in your classroom?

Making Books At Home

• 'The Book of Me' - A pre-writer can tell you what to write for them. Include favorite things, hair and eye color, names of pets, friends, or siblings, and anything else that completes your child's picture of their identity.
  
  
• Make an alphabet word-capture book - You'll need 14 pieces of paper for this one. Illustrate each of the 26 empty pages with an alphabet letter. As your child learns new words, write them on the page. Beginning readers see their growing command of language.
