Make a book with the title “I Like…”  On each right-hand page place a photo of your child doing something he or she likes.  On each left-hand page write on an index card a simple sentence describing the activity.  Here are some examples:

• I like to read.
• I like to play.

It is so easy to take a 4” x 6” photo album and turn it into a great book for your child. Here are some other kinds of books that you can make: My Trip, My Birthday Party, My Family, and My Friends. Children like many books that you buy, but they love ones you make with personalized photos!
