Although I don't teach Letter of the Week, I still use a LOT of fun activities for individual letters throughout the year. The main difference between the old Letter of the Week approach and what I'm doing in my room is twofold:

1. I do every letter every day, as opposed to waiting weeks into the school year to "teach" individual letters.

2. My teaching is planned around thematic units, instead of around the letters of the alphabet.

I'm always looking for new activities that will help my students learn the letters and sounds, and build on prior knowledge. "Irresistable ABC's" has more than 50 fun, multi-sensory activities that incorporate all the learning styles found in most classrooms, and present alphabet knowledge and phonemic awareness/phonics activities using many of the "other" important tools we are teaching our students, including Graphing and Visual Organizers, making Big Books and Little Books, Shared Writing and Language Experience activities, working with names activities, and dozens more.

Many of the activities are extensions for familiar literature you're already using, like "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and "26 Letters and 99 Cents."

Novelli collected the activities from teachers around the country and has a nice balance of activities suitable to pre-K through 2nd grade classrooms. This is a book I think most teachers will enjoy, filled with activities to build on prior knowledge and to complement whatever reading and writing programs you're already using in your classrooms.

If you are an early childhoold educator this is a must have book! Irresistable A,B,Cs provides the teacher with meaningful hands on activities for each letter of the alphabet. Your students will love the fun activities and they will know their letters and sounds in no time!!

This book is a must have resource for any early childhood teacher! This book provides the teacher with many hands on activities to make learning the letters and sounds a fun and meaningful learning experience. Order it today, you will be so glad that you did!
