What's Inside
Betty Botter bought some bitter butter; let's say this crazy fun tongue twister together!
Children practice hearing and saying the letter B sound in a short tongue twister. That supports early phonological awareness, clear speech, and attention to beginning sounds, which matter in early reading.
This book fits children in first and second grade who are learning sound play and letter recognition.
