What to have
- construction paper, 12 by 18 inches, one sheet per child, in assorted colors
- computer-generated text, mounted on the construction paper
- color copies of each child’s baby photo and current photo
- flap, made of laminated construction paper, attached to the book after the book has been laminated to hide the child’s current photo (see Helpful Hint)
What to do
This big book includes a baby photo and a current photo of each child in the class. The repeating text is perfect for emergent readers, and the photographs motivate children to read the book again and again with their friends.
"When I was a baby I looked like this,
Guess who it could be!
Now open the door and you can see,
It’s me!"
Helpful Hint
Attach the flaps to each page with packing tape after the book has been laminated.
Why
Children follow along with the teacher, following the left-to-right progression and voice-print pairing. Encourages Phonetic Awareness. Encourages letter recognition.
