ABC Books Center

I love alphabet books.  I still have The Flower Alphabet Book by Jerry Pallotta, which I got when he visited my elementary school in 2nd or 3rd grade.  He signed J is for Jessica inside the cover :)

I don't typically have too many of my 2nd-5th graders checking out alphabet books so I decided to make alphabet books a center where students could work on a library alphabet book for our library.  I made up an alphabet book template in word, printed out the pages, and made a folder to hold new and unfinished pages.  I pulled a bunch of my alphabet books to use as inspiration.  I love seeing what they come up with for each letter: 
 
 
  This center is available on TPT.

      Thank you! I used the Curlz font, size 300 for the letters. I like the idea of doing it in the end of the year!
