Fold It!

There are many different types of possible foldables to make.  

The following is one I created, to help my kindergarten classroom.

Alphabet and Counting Book

• This foldable covers information that is in the Kindergarten TEKS, such as being able to recognize all of the 26 letters, and counting.
• This book gives the kids a chance to say the sound of the letter they see on each page of the small book. They also can count to 50 by ones, or 100 by 10s, and can check to see if they are doing it right when they turn the page.
• The supplies needed includes staples, and  many pieces of paper, in any color, although bright colors help the students remember what they once saw.
• To create the activity you can- 1. fold a piece of paper every inch, or however big you would want the pages to be.  
  
  2. Cut on the lines, but leave a inch or so for the end.  
  
   3. Next, fold the paper back up, and staple the book on the end.
  
   4. Write in the information on the pages.
  5. If you want to add more pages, use different colors of paper, repeat steps1-4, and staple it to the back of the first book to add more.
• This foldable can be used as homework, or as a station. The students can bring this home, and tell to a parent, or have a partner in a station, who they can read this to. In an alphabet book, the student can see the letter, and pronounce the sound the letter makes to their partner. In the counting book, the student can start at 1, or 10, depending on their level (counting by ones, or tens) and say the following letter, before checking themselves on the next page.
