Activities: Make an alphabet book together. Write one large upper case letter on each page of you homemade book, and then cut out things that begin with that letter to glue on the page with the letter. Help your child decide which pictures belong with which letter. You may want to extend this activity over several weeks; do a letter a day or a letter a week.
This season would be an excellent time to purchase a copy of Picture Book Preschool either for yourself or for someone you know who has a preschooler or a kindergartner. Although you can begin the curriculum at any time of the year, the booklet actually starts with the first week of January. So get yours now in preparation for a new year of reading together.
Picture Book Preschool is a preschool/kindergarten curriculum which consists of a list of picture books to read aloud for each week of the year and a character trait, a memory verse, and activities, all tied to the theme for the week. You can purchase a downloadable version (pdf file) of Picture Book Preschool by Sherry Early at Biblioguides.
