You can decorate it more if you'd like but I find that simple is the most effective and least distracting.

Fold your paper in half. Use the edge of you marker to make a sharp crease and tear. Keep doing this until you have the number (and size) pieces you want. I'm going to do the name Mia (my niece)

Staple your pages together.

The cover. "My Name is _______" very simple 😊

At the top of the page write the name ( make sure to capitalize the first letter) and under line the first letter ( or subsequent letter) then write the letter in the center of the page.

Do that for each letter.

The next page is fun for them. Write the whole name at the top and then scramble up the rest if the letters in the middle of the page. The idea is that they read the letters and point to them in order

This next page is the upper and lower case letters of the name. I use this page for pointing to a letter and then point to the upper or lower case words at the bottom. Word and letter recognition.

This page is optional. I used it as a filler. To skip this page simply go to the next step and see the end of the guide for the step for the extra page. If you add this page it just personalizes it.

Ask your child a question about their name or write some fact about it. This helps them feel like this book is special for them and makes them more keen to be involved with learning.

I suggest doing this side by side so they can see the difference. This can be used to help them pick out the correct letters out of the whole alphabet. You can use this separately for different words.

Use the back page to document important information like the date and the gifter or recipient.

Use this guide to make easy learning books for all kinds of things! I've also done easy words with pictures and shapes. Don't ever pay for a generic learning book again!
