Parts of a Book – Front Cover, Spine, and Back Cover
The front cover, the back cover, and the spine are all on the outside of the book. This worksheet illustrates those three parts and labels them. Kids can color the book.
Subject Level: Parts of a Book
The parts of a book are just as important as the book itself. We often teach kids from books without thinking about the parts of the book we are teaching them from. Take some time to teach your kids these important concepts. The main points covered in these resources are the front cover, back cover, spine, the pages, how to turn the pages of a book, the title page, title, picture (or illustration) and a few page about authors and illustrators. You will also find two sets of Parts of a Book Posters – one in rainbow polka dot colors and one with a simple black frame. There are also two sets of vocabulary cards – one with the words only and one with images. These pages, vocabulary cards and posters were meant to supplement your oral teaching and visual modeling of of these book parts.
