Favorite Alphabet Books, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Theme Pack, and two Freebies...

I cannot believe how quickly my summer is coming to an end!! I have exactly 19 days left of summer vacay! Noooooooo! I really need to get moving. I have the ideas in my head I just have not started any of my projects.  Anyone else in the same boat? 
I always begin the year with a quick review of the alphabet to gauge who knows their letters and sounds.  What better way to do this than with a read-a-loud! One of my all time favorites is....  Drum roll please... You guessed it...

When I first started teaching I had a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom theme in my classroom.  That is how I got started into creating themes in my classroom.  So of course I had to create a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Theme Pack.  Sure wish I would have had this pack when I first started out.  You can check it out at my TN store by clicking on the picture:

I also created a Communication Binder cover also uploaded to my TN store:
Another favorite is:
Look at these goodies that I found to go along with this cute book. Kerri over at Teacher Bits and Bobs has the cutest alphabet mystery puzzles pack that will go great with this book check it out at her TPT store:
I also found this Alphabet Mystery Box game from Lakeshore:
Both of these items are in my shopping cart at both stores. What a great alphabet mini unit this will make and will be such a fun way to review the alphabet.

I also like to have my students practice their handwriting skills.  So I created a Now I Know My ABC's Handwriting Practice book.  This is also at my TN store:

Here are some other great alphabet book read alouds:
Here are two freebies for my bloggy friends:
The first is a Meet the Teacher Treat Topper.
Check out my TN store for other treat Toppers in different themes.

The next freebie is an Alphabet Chart

What are some of your alphabet book favorites? How do you review the alphabet in your classroom? Share some of the things you do! Well I gotta go! See you tomorrow!

  6. Love it Crystal! Very creative, I may use some of these items in my son's playroom. The teacher in me needs to turn it into a mini-classroom! Right now he is obsessed with letters and colors, so this is perfect!
