7 Classroom Activities for the Alphabet Legends Books
"You might have heard the buzz in a Facebook post shared by a friend or a picture in your Instagram feed. Well, last year I connected with the folks behind the Alphabet Legends series. They even gave me a book to giveaway on my own Instagram page. I’m so excited to share a few ways to use these books in your classroom. And I’ve connected this book series to some of my very favorite technology tools!
If you haven’t heard of the Alphabet Legends books before, they are a collection of nine books written in ABC format. Although these books could absolutely be used to introduce letters, the rich content covered in each one makes it perfect for students of all ages. You can use these books to introduce people who have contributed to the world in different ways – inspiring a research project, prompting students to set goals, or to simply think about the world around them in a new way."
