Children love to visualize themselves as readers and making books is so fun because kids take ownership and pride in their own creations. I have a magazine tub where I save my grocery store newspaper clips, toy store magazines, Scholastic book fair newspaper clips, and other great visual collections.
My friend Joy shared this EASY template for a book, and my kindergarteners had a blast cutting out and glueing their favorite things into a book (that is meaningful AND that they can read).

Simple yet such a neat idea for young readers. Thank you for sharing !!
