But, I will be honestwhen I searched for Dr.Seusss ABC book to see what activities I could do with my students this year there wasnt much.
Plus, they encourage children to use their imagination, and with Dr. Seusss made-up words, reading and writing can be fun In this first activity, students enjoy putting words from the book in ABC order and writing a silly sentence. ![]() Students search through the ABC book to find real and nonsense words. Or, you can have students read the book and sort words based on their part of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and nonsense words like fiffer-feffer-feff ). Really, you could use this activity with any Dr. Seuss book. But, I had so much fun with this one because of all of the made-up words. Each child can be given a different letter of the alphabet to come up with a word that begins with that letter. Once finished, the pages can be put together into a classroom book. Or, you can take their picture, print it out, and glue it to the page to create a book of all of the students in your class. Ive done ABC books like this before and have used them both ways. There are blank pages and pages with the letters already filled in. They could write about their favorite things, writing the first letter on each page, the word, and drawing a picture to match. ![]() Students can think of words independently to write that begin with the same letter. Or, they can choose from word lists you provide in a writing center and draw a picture to match. Personally, for the little ones, I like providing them with word lists (with more than six words) so they can choose the words they want to write and spend more time writing. For older or more advanced students, they may find it challenging to think of the words on their own. They write each letter at least five times using their best handwriting. This can be combined with the previous letter writing activity. Once they find a match, they write the upper and lowercase letters five times.
