Create your own ABC books either with the students or over the summer.

Select a topic.  Make a list of pictures to take, 1 picture for each letter of the alphabet.

Purchase a disposable camera with 27 prints.  Take the pictures. (Or use a digital camera.)

Take the pictures to be developed, but ask for a CD of the pictures as well as the prints.

Create a PowerPoint master slide.  Create a title page with the title and the author.

Create several different ABC books with the set of prints (see above examples).

Use the ABC books with each unit of study.
