19Bilingual Layered Book-making Curriculum
Purpose
Having children write their own books serves a number of purposes. It gives them
ownership over their text and provides a text that they will know how t oread. It also
gives them a text to share with their familias and friends, which can encourage literacy in
others. Finally, children’s books can be sent back to the children at First Unitarian church
who have sent their bilingual books to you!
Supplies
For each book, two different colored sheets of paper that will be folder in layers (See
models included.)
Stapler to create a binding for the book; alternatively, thread/string and needle
Pens, pencils, markers to write the text
Photographs or drawings to decorate the cover of the book
Instructions
1. Have children create their own books by holding their two sheets of paper as in
the models included so that layers are created. Use staples to bind the book. If a
stapler is not available, thread or string can be used to sew a binding with a
needle.
2. Have children decide what graphic to create or put on the cover of their books.
Ideally the graphic should represent something about the child.
3. Using the text provided below as a guide, have children write about themselves in
both English and Spanish.
