Make Mini Books with Beginning Readers

Preschool and kindergarten children learn the alphabet and the sounds that go with each letter. Soon they are pairing the print word with familiar pictures. For example, they see a picture of a baby in a book. The word baby is under the picture . . .  The child begins to read.

Parents and VBS teachers can help kids use simple pictures to create a beginning reader booklet: What Did God Make? Make one page for each letter. Then, add pictures with the word for things that God made. The pictures might be foods, animals, people, weather, or landforms.

Kids can draw the pictures. They can be cut from magazines. You can also get some great pics from Pinterest. Here are some examples to get you started on this project.
