Three adaptive books with a Thanksgiving theme! Read to your students with these interactive books about the Thanksgiving Day Parade, yummy Thanksgiving food & things we can be thankful for. These books require some prep work; however, once made, you can use them year after year!

Use these pages inside a composition notebook or a spiral notebook to create an interactive notebook for the alphabet.
Each letter includes:
How to Use:
To use these notebook pages, students will cut along the dotted lines to separate the different features. The students will glue the "I know the letter" section to the top of the left hand page and will glue the "I can find things that start with" the letter on the right hand page. The capital letter and lowercase letter cards should go directly under the "I know the letter" header. The "I can find" and "I can write" flaps should go under the capital and lowercase letter cards, making sure to only put glue on the backside where the solid line is located. Students will look through magazines or other printed material to find examples of the letter in print as well as pictures that begin with the letter to glue in the appropriate locations.
Skills Assessed:
These alphabet interactive notebooks will allow students to practice letter recognition, letter formation and beginning sounds.
