Jack and Jill's ABCs
I created this VERY, VERY
SIMPLE ABC book to coordinate with the Jack and Jill rhyme. I have a
student who just has not learned the letters although we've worked on them in
context, used flashcards, and he's been immersed in LOTW in his regular class.
So I thought I'd try this method. I also created a colored version for
myself that I'm going to have laminated and bound. The TA will use it to
point to the letters and he'll tell her the letters. Then he'll have his
own book copy to color, read and use with his friends. This book is
created to be used similar to the way you'd use an ABC chart or ABC song.
Instead of reciting the ABCs and pointing to the chart or singing the song, the
student would use the book instead. The book is created in a half
page, portrait format. The same graphic you see above is used
throughout the book. If you think your students will get bored
coloring the same picture over and over, have them use crayons on a page,
markers on a page, water colors, colored pencils, etc. or don't color it at all.
The coloring isn't the main objective here. Learning the letters is the
main objective. Make half the number of book copies that you need and
staple them together on the left, then simply use a paper cutter to cut across
the middle of the books horizontally. You instantly have enough copies of
the books for your class that are stapled and read to go! The pages
are not numbered and there's even the added bonus of a little ABC song that I
wrote at the end to sing. (16 pages)

ABCs download (for the first time ever, I'm offering an Adobe PDF file
download for this one item only. Order it through PayPal or by check, just
like the other items, and I'll email you the PDF file. Make sure you have
Adobe Reader installed and that your email will accept attachments. I will
send the PDF files ahead of the snail mail order. If this works out well,
then this summer I might add some more of the books for downloads.)
25E - Jack and Jill's
ABCs download color version ( this is another first ... for the first time
ever, I'm offering a color version of the book. I use the colored version
of the book with the students and they color their copy for their own use.
I printed my pages onto cardstock, laminated the pages and bound them with a
plastic comb. This is another aspect of the books that we want to get into
doing, as I like to have a model for the children to look at if they wish and I
don't want to take the time to color them myself. So Carol's learning to
"paint" them on the computer and having a great time with it! :) If we can
get this going, not only will we offer colored books, but also colored
pocketchart pictures as well. How cool! No more coloring needed!)

a page. Remember, they print two book pages per sheet. This shot is
still a little grainy, but the originals are nice and crisp.*
