Our KBound ABC chart is made up of our original KBound characters. Each one is obviously highly teachable (ex: apple starts with Aa and makes what sound? Letters, sounds, pictures . . . the applications are endless!)! Each one has a definite history and a unique story about it's place in KBound Land. Each friend also brings to light a life perspective, if you will. Now, what could one learn from an eskimo, you ask? or a cake? or a kite? Surely, while our students only really need to know the teachable parts, they will enjoy each character's relatable KB Land story . . . and they will become familiar with them through KBound books, songs, charts, and a wealth of other engaging materials (on sale at or coming soon to Teachers pay Teachers). Introduced with enthusiasm and creativity, these relatable and teachable characters come to life!
While teachers and blog readers will appreciate the teachable part of KBound's ABC chart characters as well, they will find humor in the life perspective part - that's not for the kids! And we'll share them as we go . . . like how Queen, in her design stage, reminded us about beauty. Oh, decisions, decisions! "Do we put lipstick on Queen? Is that too superficial? too vain? . . . would that be in keeping with KBound's SIMPLE, cut-the-fluff ideals?" What Queen ultimately offered us in her creation is that a little lipstick doesn't hurt any one . . . that it is not about the lipstick . . . AND that "you can't put makeup on inner beauty!" !!! Our KBound Queen, as you will learn, has undeniable beauty. And, if we're lucky, most of us have it both inside and out . . . lipstick
or no lipstick ;)
So, here's a peak at KBound's ABC chart, available in both large and mini versions at Teachers pay Teachers. They ARE the heart of all things KBound. Both large and mini ABC charts are available in black-and-white and in color versions (shown). All charts come with full instructions, creative ideas, and tried-and-true TIPS for classroom use (tried-and-true because we've been there, used them ;)
KBound characters will 'speak' to both you and your students . . .
We're sure of it!
