The purpose of these books is to...
-
create appropriate books, at Liam’s level, that he can read and enjoy independently.
-
be used in classroom "book browsing time" and also some set aside for him to check out during "library" time.
-
give opportunities for Liam to read for pleasure and "view" a variety of texts.
Suggested Materials Needed for a Book Party of Your Own!
-
blank "chipboard" books (using a variety of sizes)
-
glue guns (with refill glue sticks), duct tape, scissors, brailler (and someone who can braille quickly, if available! Liam’s TVI graciously came and helped us braille all the books) great variety of textured objects that can be glued onto the pages as "pictures". (We literally had a table full of items!)
-
A list of possible book ideas that fit the interest of your child that your guests can choose. (See the ideas we used below.)
-
A list of instructions on how to make the books. (See a few suggestions below.)
-
Fun snack items (What’s a party without food!!)
-
Plenty of tables and chairs that have access to outlets for the glue guns!
Suggested Instructions to throw your own Book Making Party:
-
Choose a date and location weeks ahead of time so people have time to plan on attending.
- Generate a list of book ideas that your child would enjoy (and also a purpose for the books. Our purpose was to create browsing books and also "library books".) Also create brief instructions for each of the books so the guests will have an idea of what to do.
-
Use the list you generated to create a list of things you need to buy or collect for the party.
