Jazzles 'Create A Dictionary' Book!
Collect and Record Words Alphabetically.

It is important for children learning to read, write and spell that they
create their own personal collection of most loved and commonly used words.
This personal dictionary book enables children to collect, order and record initial
words alphabetically.
Arranging words into their own dictionary creates a
valuable resource children can use - while developing a variety of other dictionary
skills essential to their future learning.
Each letter of the alphabet has its own page plus
there are 8 pages for gathering 'theme related' words.
Although this book stands on its own, it is best used in
association with the Jazzles 'Alphabet Clever Songs' CD and its song lyrics.
Creating the Dictionary.
This book is ideally used as a progress record and in
conjunction with the Jazzles 'Alphabet Clever Songs' CD. This CD includes a song that teaches the order
of the alphabet as well as providing a base group of words from each alphabet song.
The best way to organize this activity is as follows:

- Having learnt the song, list the words of the
focus letter song on a chalkboard, colorful paper spreadsheet or overhead projector.
- Ask your children to help arrange the words in alphabetical
order. For strict alphabetical order, you will need to explain how to arrange the
words by the second and third letter (etc.).
- Now they can record the words on the appropriate
dictionary page.
- An added creative activity is for children to decorate the
border of each page with a pattern of upper and lower case target letters. For example -
Aa-Aa-Aa - an excellent way to practice upper and lower case letters.
- Children then add words when ever they wish and use their
dictionary to access words they need for their writing.
Children love the Jazzles songs and you will find this a fun way to focus on a
letter.
Using the Theme Pages.
Use these pages to group and record words that children
frequently use and/or are 'theme related:-

- Words I Use A Lot. For children to record their own high
frequency words such as names of family, friends and pets. Also, of sports, games and other activities they
enjoy.
- Living Things. Record high frequency words about plants, trees, animals,
sea creatures, birds, insects, spiders, etc.
- Words about Time. Record seasons, days of the week, Months of the year,
etc.
- Action Words. Record high frequency verbs. Jump, skip, run, etc.
- Feelings For example, how I feel ( e.g good, tired, cranky, generous,
happy, etc.); how things look (e.g. beautiful, green, natural, etc).
- Where I Live Record names of towns, places, locations and people that are
important and often used by the individual child.
- Transport. Buses, trains, trucks, cars, tankers, tractors, planes, space
ships, scooters and more!
