Many preschoolers like to talk and have a lot to say. Although most can't yet write words themselves, they enjoy dictating stories for others to write for them. Making this book will help your child develop both spoken and written language skills and give him more practice using the small muscles in his hands.

What You Need

Paper
Paper punch
Safety scissors
Pencil, pen, crayons
Yarn, pipe cleaners or staples
Paste

What to Do

Make a booklet of five or six pages. Your child can help punch holes close to one edge and thread yarn through the holes to keep the pages together. You can also bind the book with twisted pipe cleaners or you can staple the pages together.
On the outside cover of the booklet, print your child's name. Explain to him that this is going to be a book about him.
Let your child talk about what he will draw on each page. As he talks, print on the page what he says. Here are some examples:
Other people in my family
My favorite toys
My favorite books
My friends
My pet
My neighborhood
My home (or My bedroom)
Encourage your child to read his books to family members and visitors.
