Kid and Parent Made Books

Welcome! New to ABC and 123?
Please check out our FAQ in the left sidebar.

Today we are pleased to highlight ideas for making your own books, these are great fun for kids to read especially as most are personalized in some way. Kid made books are also great extension activities for literature and can be used as evaluation tools too. At the end of a unit, a good way to check for comprehension is to have your child their own book and share their knowledge. True mastery of concepts can be shown through being able to synthesize information and reproduce it in your own words.
