Alphabet books are a great way to teach your child about alphabet letters and to document your child’s work. To start, all you’ll need is a 2 inch, 3-ring binder. I added this cover with Troy’s age on it. I’d like to do an alphabet book with him each year until Kindergarten or so. If you’d like to download a free copy of this cover to personalize, click here.
I put protective sleeves inside the binder for each letter. When we study a letter, we will create a colorful letter and then add it to the book. When we did apple painting, we created this letter ‘A’.
On the backside, you can add a craft or something you did when you were learning about that letter. This is just a good way to store crafts and to showcase the work we’ve done. We made this apple from a paper plate for a craft.
I thought this would be a good way to organize his work, especially since I don’t like clutter and I can see these crafts and projects piling up at the house.
We’ll be adding to this in the weeks to come!! We started learning about the letter ‘P’ today, so stay tuned tomorrow for more on that and pumpkins!
I hope you can use this to create your very own alphabet book with your child!
I love this idea. Thank you for sharing! I have purchased your ebook and it has been great so far.
Going down stairs now to get the binder and some protectors and my 2.5 year old and I will begin this book today! Thanks for always sharing such great learning ideas! I’ve referenced your website on some of my posts on my website – hope that’s ok. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due.
You are too sweet! Thank you!! I’m glad I can give you some ideas. Hope the alphabet book helps your little one!
I like this idea. I plan on going to “School Aids” today and getting some things to start educating my child. I have decided to home school him. I like this idea and I believe I will include it in our daily activities.
Kayla- that is so great! I hope this alphabet book helps your little one. It has been wonderful for us! Thanks for comment and let me know how it goes!
