Introduction/Modeling skill:
The Alphabet Tree, by Leo Lionni:
A strong wind blows most of the letters off the alphabet tree and those
that remain hide among the branches. Then a bug and a caterpillar come along
and teach them how to arrange themselves into words and sentences to form a
special message. Let’s read the book and see what that special message is.
Additional theme related book (optional):
Our Tree Named Steve by Alan Zweibel
Tie-in song, rhyme, fingerplay and/or

Tie-in Activity
ABC vest
Brown paper bag
Upper and Lowercase alphabets
Scissors
Tape or glue sticks
Cut open the front panel of the bag. Be
sure to cut down the middle.
Cut head opening in the bottom of the bag
which is facing up.
Cut arm openings in the sides of the bag.
Cuto
ut the uppercase letter strips and attach on each half of the cut open side of
the bag. They fit best in rows across the vest. That way children can read the
letters in order from left to right and top to bottom.
Lowercase letters should be matched to
uppercase and can be permanently attached or not attached to be reused for
further practice.
Encourage parent/child to discuss the
process of comparing and matching letters. For example, How are the letters
alike? How are they different? (uppercase B has two curves, lowercase b only
has one).
