The first is an already completed booklet {with letters on each page} where students focus on identifying an object\/item that corresponds with each letter\/beginning letter sound, scripting the word {with or without help}, and drawing the item in the space provided. The second printable requires a bit more work, inviting students to cut out the letter tiles provided in the download and paste them onto the pages. It will certainly take more time to complete, but is a great fine motor skill builder! {And, can be a way to help your students review colors as they match the colored letter tiles to the colored boxes on the pages.}\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":1734119424025,"sku":"A3402","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/My-Alphabet-Book.jpg?v=1522781787"},{"product_id":"extended-my-counting-book-activity-a3406","title":"Extended \"My Counting Book\" Activity!","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1273\" alt=\"Literacy and Math Preschool Printable\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Counting-Book-0.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e After giving it some more thought, we updated yesterday's simple counting book printable to include several more learning elements for a more challenging activity. {Perhaps it might work well as an end-of-the-year review exercise.} Along with numeral recognition, one-to-one correspondence, and counting, students are introduced to\/practice using...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber words.
