Students increase their understanding of alphabet books by participating in a variety of reading and writing activities.
"De nos jours, les débuts des apprentissages en lecture et en écriture des enfants se font bien avant leur entrée à l’école. Les enfants baignent dans des environnements où les mots, les sons, les textes et les images sont présents partout, accessibles sur différents supports (livres, écrans, affiches, etc.). Or, ces apprentissages ne peuvent se faire sans un enseignement plus explicite de la lecture et de l’écriture. Plus les enfants développent tôt une certaine habileté à jouer avec les mots et les sons ainsi qu’à apprendre les lettres de l’alphabet, plus leurs chances de persévérer et de réussir à l’école sont grandes."
Students use this online tool to create an alphabet chart or pages for an alphabet book.
Alphabet practice worksheets. Upper and Lowercase worksheets, large letters and alphabet coloring sheets.
Students write original stories using alphabetical order, beginning each page with a new letter, and then illustrate their texts in class or at home with their families.
« Ce site, consacré à l'apprentissage de la lecture, propose des exercices ludiques gratuits.
Les jeux en ligne aident l'enfant à apprendre les sons tout en s'amusant.
Les exercices à imprimer permettent d'apprendre à écrire.
L'apprentissage est progressif : étude de chaque lettre, des syllabes puis des mots et enfin des phrases. Cette méthode permet d'apprendre à lire le français facilement. »

Students create a class alphabet book or "ABCDarium," a book that uses images of animals or objects to illustrate each letter of the alphabet. The book is in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript and incorporates both art and writing. Students decorate large uppercase letters of the alphabet and draw an original picture to illustrate each letter.
The purpose of this lesson is to explore how and why we put words in alphabetical order.

Learn about Métis culture, history, and language through beautiful colouring pages paired with informative lessons. This resource contains downloadable lessons and colouring pages to go with each letter of the alphabet.
The Métis Alphabet Colouring Book is an adaptation of Joseph Jean Fauchon's popular children's book of the same name. With enhanced cultural content, this colouring book highlights historical figures, significant events, places of interest and other aspects of Métis identity to take youthful readers beyond the alphabet to explore the richness of Métis history and culture. George Gingras's images--which are meant to be coloured and are inspired by illustrations and photos--provide an engaging complement to the text. The Métis Alphabet Colouring Book strengthens Métis pride and identity while providing young readers with an informative reference book about the essence of being Métis.
Students practice writing letters of the alphabet and explore how decorated letters can be used to convey stories or symbolic ideas. They create an "illuminated" alphabet in which each letter conveys concepts of home and family.
