2. Introduce the Project
Explain to children that they will create a special book featuring each lowercase letter of the alphabet. For each letter, they will draw something that starts with that letter, using their own imagination and creativity.
3. Draw and Label
Help children write the lowercase letter at the top of the page. Then, encourage them to draw an object or animal that begins with that letter. They can also add labels or simple words to reinforce learning.
