Literacy and Learning Book Buddies

Oakmont Baptist Church in Greenville NC is going to Helena Arkansas to share in the All Church Challenge with Ben and Leonora Newell. We look forward to working with our friends who have a long time mission established through the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the community of Helena AR. In preparation for this trip (July 16, 2011) we are planning literacy projects. We are sharing resources with the Newells, our OBC Team, and you. We have four ideas: 1) Bookcase Buddies with Read alouds; 2) Lapbooks showing what we learned; 3) Readers' Theater; 4) Parent Workshops for Reading with your Children and Grandchildren.

Lapbooks to Extend Reading and Learning
1. LapBook Projects. These come from a variety of sources. Please note the creator and developers of these websites.
  • Lapbooks  Videos
    • Videos showing different formats for the book projects. Lapbooks are file folders layed open in the child's lap. Small flap books are glued to the folders to enhance the reading experience and help the child make a personal connection to books.
  • Second   Flap Books
    • These are simple paper books that are created by children for re-telling a story.
  • Third  Bookmarking Books
    • Bookmark Books are a collection of bookmarks created by children and linked together with ties or rings.
  • Fourth   Step Book
    • These are created by chidren to teach the sequence of a story or help the child see relationships in a book.
  • Fifth Nothing but paper book
    • The simplest of folded books that can be created with nothing but sheets of paper.
  • Sixth Creation Book--- the small flap books are pasted into the large lapbook made with two file folders.
    • This template is one of several that is public domain images of Bible Stories. These are perfect inserts for lapbooks.
2. Bookcase Buddies and Read Alouds.

  • Lapbooks created from published books. Paper books can be purchased, cut and pasted to cardboard for creating a lap book used for story telling.
  • Big Book concentration game. Pictures cut from paper books can be used to create a concentration memory game. Matched pictures or match pictures to key words win rewards for each match.

3. Reading with your children and grandchildren. These resources can be used with a Parent Literacy Workshop.

Simple demonstrations and practice session will help parents learn to keep their child's attention during reading time. Games add to the fun of read alouds. A variety of techniques and steps for creating the games are presented.
4. Readers Theater.
This is always popular with young and mid-level readers. No costumes or sets are needed. The stories are dynamic and motivational for readers.

Readers’ Theater ideas and scripts.

Here is a favorite book we like to give to others. You may have seen this at the National CBF conference. Sharing Jesus with Children Around the World.
I also located the link to the wonderful Jesus Storybook Bible. I've download this to my phone.
