What's Inside
Children can say the sounds aloud, put them together, and read the "ap" words as a group. The book gives practice with word families, rhyming words, and noticing the same word chunk again and again.
Use it in circle time for a quick phonics lesson or in a small group when children are ready to read simple word patterns. It fits well with early reading practice for children learning how words work.
