Invite students into Leo Lionni’s world as they explore The Alphabet Tree, then challenge them to become engineers by designing a tree capable of holding as many hanging letters as possible.
Invite students into Leo Lionni’s world as they explore The Alphabet Tree, then challenge them to become engineers by designing a tree capable of holding as many hanging letters as possible. In this playful challenge, learners use problem-solving and structural design skills to build sturdy “alphabet trees” that support increasing letter weight without collapsing. As they test and improve their structures, students naturally reinforce letter recognition and literacy concepts while experiencing how reading, writing, and engineering can come together in a fun, hands-on STEAM project.
