Idea About Teaching Baby’s Alphabet.

Slide1
As I have said before, the time to teach children is when they are babies. I have sang the ABC’s to Anna from the time she was 2 weeks old. I read to her all the time. I have discovered that she loves looking at pictures of herself. So I came up with an idea to combine the two. I have been learning about PowerPoint in Software Applications and an idea that has been in my head for a while now quickly took over.
I used the PowerPoint to make a couple of books for Anna. I started at the beginning. Anna’s Arrival was a big hit with my angel. Then I thought about teaching her. So I created Anna’s Alphabet over the weekend. I took longer to find the pictures than anything else. She loves it.
Of course, if you are putting lots of pictures into a PowerPoint, it does take up space on your computer. However, if after you are finished you convert the file to JPEGs or to PDF format, they take up a lot less space. I did both, one for my Kindle and one for photobucket, to share. http://photobucket.com/AnnasAlphbet
I think it is a good way to teach them that is fun for them. And a book with them as the STAR makes them feel good about themselves. I will be creating books for my great nephews, if I can get my sister and my niece to send me the pictures, for Christmas gifts. A present does not have to cost a lot to mean something.

  1. Great idea QG! IF I had the time I'd make a set for each of my boys, AND print them out, AND laminate them!... But I don't. Sigh, I guess I'll have to stick with Sesame Street;)
