What's Inside

It's an escapade; let's figure out all the beginning letters that have been left out. Letters and the letter sounds will have us reading words in no time.

Choose this book when a child is ready to notice first sounds in words and match them to letters. It gives practice with beginning letters, letter sounds, and simple word work in a clear, playful way.

It fits well with preschoolers and early readers who are learning how print and sounds connect. Adults can pause and ask children to listen for the first sound in each word before naming the letter.
