1st abc ME READ Open House Party!

This weekend abc ME READ had our first Open House Party! What is a Open House Party? Well..think of it very similar to a purse party or jewelry party. It is a time where friends and their children come together to sample what a book club is and view the abc ME READ products. The adults and children participated in a hands on book. You can see a sample lesson of the book at our website.

After guests arrived, adults and children, our Founder Kim began with a few remarks to the adults explaining our company and our products.

While the adults were listening, the children began the first part of the book, coloring the welcoming activity for the letter L, a picture of Leo the Lion.
Next, the children and adults listened to an AlphaTales "L" story about Leo Lion and answered comprehension questions about the book.

Once our story was done, the adults and children made a craft and a snack surrounding the letter "L" theme. Each child made ladybug paper whose wings actually moved in and out along with a lion pudding snack. How cute are these?!

After a quick explanation by Laura (Executive Vice President of Creative Development), everyone enthusiastically dove in to creating their own ladybugs. Alisa (Executive Vice President of Sales) helped to make sure everyone had the supplies needed. Lindsay (Executive Vice President of Marketing) took the pictures that you are seeing here.
Children of all ages not only had fun creating their ladybug paper, but also creatively thinking of names for their ladybugs while testing out their movable wings.


Younger guests needed little help with creating their craft and snack. Here, a 4 year old confidently creates the mane on his lion before devouring his snack!

The ages of the children who participated in our open house party varied from 12 months old to 10 years old. Our 10 year old guest informed everyone that he loved participating in book clubs and always had "a lot of fun" at book clubs no matter how old he was!


While the children were finishing up their snack, parents had plenty of time to order abc ME READ products and reserve dates to host their own abc ME READ Book Club Party.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few questions that we have received about our Book Clubs.

The Alphabet Book Club craft kit includes craft supplies for how many children?

The Alphabet Book Club craft kit includes enough supplies for 6 kids for each lesson. So you would actually get 144 crafts!

The Book Club Program (PDF Version), what exactly does it include?

The Book Club PDF comes with all 24 lessons of the alphabet (we include X, Y, and Z together) In each lesson you will get a welcome activity that includes a color page, comprehension questions that correlate with the AlphaTales books, the instructions on how to make each craft (picture included), the instructions on how to make each corresponding snack (picture included) and an alliteration poem to reinforce the letter you are working on, I just have my kids highlight the letter in each word. So basically you are getting a lesson plan book, a craft book, and a snack cook book all in one.

The AlphaTales Books must be bought from a separate vendor, or are they included in the Book Club package?

The AlphaTales books are sold separately through a different vendor right now, only because that is cheaper for our customers. If you have any type of alphabet books at home, they would work. You just wouldn't be able to use our comprehension questions. If you have a hard time locating the AlphaTales books, please contact us and we will get a copy for you!
