After reading the book The Alphabet Tree, the children will have to construct new words of their own and tape them to the tree. On each leaf a letter of the alphabet is written and spread all over a table,face up. The children, must look through the letters and try to create their own words by writing on the blank leaves provided to them,the word they have created. Afterwards, they will tape the new word to the tree till it is filled up.
