- Blue's Word Book--Blue is creating stories to share with Steve, but she needs help with collecting words. A letter of the alphabet is earned for each correctly completed task, and words are then made from the accumulated letters. Children can visit the word book at any time where color coded words are inserted into identically coded stories. As each story is completed, Blue draws an accompanying illustration. The book pages can then be printed. This is a great pre-spelling, early vocabulary and word recognition activity.
