Wonderful!, December 7, 2003
This review is from: Art Across the Alphabet: Over 100 Art Experiences that Enrich Early Literacy (Paperback)
Teachers know that children learn best by engaging in hands-on, fun activities which reinforce the skill or concept being taught. Teachers also know that combining activities---say art and literacy, for example---make the learning process more vital, more engaging. We know these things; however, we don't always have the time to devise and plan those activities.
To the rescue: Art Across the Alphabet. This jam-packed resource includes art-centered activities that will help your students with phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and pre-reading skills. Also included are sample letters home which will encourage parents to become involved, "alphabet gallery activities," as well as teacher-tested tips and suggestions.
We "field-tested" many of the activities and found them easy to incorporate into our curriculum, well-written, and enjoyable. The letters home to parents are especially helpful and extremely well done. Highly Recommended.

Fun with your little one, March 10, 2006
This review is from: Art Across the Alphabet: Over 100 Art Experiences that Enrich Early Literacy (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from the local library and loved it. (I have the late fees to prove it). So I went hunting online and here it is on Amazon. Awesome book with illustrations, supply list and step by step on how to do your art project. My son is 3, you could easily use this for kids much older. The projects are fun even if you already know the alphabet. Use it for rainy day ideas. This week we made pet Rocks (our letter is R). My son went around telling everyone about his pet rock. Buy it - you won't be disappointed.

Great book, July 31, 2007
This review is from: Art Across the Alphabet: Over 100 Art Experiences that Enrich Early Literacy (Paperback)
This book proved not o be only satisfactory to me, but also to my daughter's english teacher. There are 4-5 different activities for each letter of the alphabet and each activity involves something preschoolers and kindergarter's are already familiar with, such as airplanes and bubbles. Each activity is a refridgerator paper and can be easily reviewed as well as inform those not so close-by relatives what your children are learning. Great book, would recommend it to anyone who is having a difficult time developing ideas for beginning letters.
