As part of our Alphabet book study, we read this amazing Caldecott winner,
Alphabet City. The Caldecott medal is given to children's books for illustrations. The book is full of city photos that have all the letters of the alphabet made from city scenes. The students loved the book. We talked about how the author really had to concentrate on details to find the letters hidden in around the city. We decided to be letter detectives as well. We searched the playground to see if we could find the letters in the details. We all worked together on the detail search.
The letter detectives did end up finding all 26 letters....although we had to get a bit creative on a few. View the slideshow below and see if you can see the letters we found.
