Title: ABC Book
Grade Level: K-1
Curriculum Area: Language Arts
Tools: Kid Pix Studio Deluxe, all the alphabet books you can
gather
Background: Teacher should have helped the students become
familiar with this program. They need to have practiced with the
drawing and typing tools. Read many alphabet books to your
students.
Goal: Students will create a class alphabet book.
Objective: To have each student correctly illustrate a letter
with a picture using the corresponding sound.
Procedures:
1. Read and discuss all the alphabet books that you can get
together.
2. Decide on what theme your book will have i.e. animals, school
items, etc.
3. Each student or pair of students will be assigned a letter or two.
Have the student brainstorm an idea that would start with that letter
sound and correspond to your theme.
4. Each student makes a rough draft of their picture and the sentence
that goes with it. ( ex. A is for apple, in a food ABC book.)
5. The students now come to the computer in whatever scheduling
method works best for you. This is a great project for children to
work in pairs.
6. The students come to the computer and make their picture, letter,
and sentence. ( Make a judgment on how much the student will put on
the page depending on their age and the ability.)
7. Print out each page.
8. Collate the pages in order to make a book.
Related Activities: You can make a slide show using Kid Pix
also. The students can use each page to help the class sing the
alphabet. You can use this work to help the students make words if
you have copies with just the picture and the letter.
