Books – How it’s made.
Do you like reading books? When
was the last time you read a
book?
Reading books can help us learn,
improve our writing skills and
makes us smarter!
Fun Fact
Over 130 million books have been
printed in the history of humanity.
The Process of Creating
Books
Planning the book
The first step is putting together a team!
The person who writes the book is
called an author.
Writing the book
Writing books is not easy. It requires time and
research.
Editors work with the author to correct mistakes.
Mostly, editing takes place on computers.
Illustrating the book
Illustrators help draw pictures that make the book
fun and interesting to read.
Photographers also help by taking
real life photos for the book.
Designing the book
Designers organize the pictures and the text on
each page of the book.
Printing the book
Printers make printing blocks which transfers the
content onto paper.
Finalizing the book
After printing, the large sheets of paper are cut
into pages.
A cover is put around them to protect the paper
from damage.
Now the book is ready to go to the bookstore!
The Dictionary
As a student, one of the most useful books for you
is the dictionary.
What is a dictionary?
A dictionary gives us meanings of words and we
can check the spelling of a word.
How do we find the word we are looking for?
We can do this by knowing the alphabetical order!
The alphabet is a set of letters that we use to
write and communicate.
Let’s play a game called ‘Which word comes
first?’
We have two words: “horse” and “dog”
Which word comes first: chemical or
chameleon?
c h a
c h e
Chameleon. n. (1) animal: a lizard that changes
skin colour to match what surrounds it so that it
cannot be seen.
What does the (n) mean? It’s simple.
(n) = noun
(v) = verb
(adj) = adjective
(adv) = adverb
