T is for think: Thinking fun with the alphabet

The alphabet is a tool for thinking in this collection of 300 clever activities. Answers require a word that has something to do with what the letter is doing. A valuable aid in introducing younger students to the alphabet, but a great thinking-skills book for older children, too. Start with a letter of the alphabet. Put it in an interesting position in a drawing, or use its natural shape to suggest a word. Add a few more words. What do you get? T is for Think! An answer to the challenge must not only begin with that letter, it must also make sense in a sentence or phrase that we provide. There are more than 300 drawings on reproducible activity pages. In addition to requiring children to carefully process and analyze visual clues, T is for Think offers great practice in gaining a feel for the language. Kids are also asked to do a little alphabet-inspired drawing themselves, based on some rather zany (and always alliterative) instructions. From angry A's to melting M's, from fancy F's to itchy I's, this book is sure to motivate children to think analytically and creatively., ISBN13: 9780936110172 ISBN10: 0936110171 Material Type: paperback
