This book has energized the alphabet curriculum in my classroom. It presents a fun and age appropriate method for introducing the alphabet. The book is organized clearly and presents many specific examples while encouraging a teacher to use his or her own ideas to make the alphabet books just right for ones own classrom. I will use it again and look forward to my students "publishing" their own alphabet books.

As a childcare provider I love this book it is a creative way to learn the alphabet a great resources if you make up your own curriculum. You may photo copy it for many years of use instead of purchasing a boxed curriculum every month for a certain number of children. Parent's are always interested to see what their children have learned. With each letter of the alphabet it is always different and interesting. But most important children have fun as they learn.

I'm a teacher, and I have to say that this is a great book! I love how it breaks down activities by letter and also gives lesson ideas, too! It's very user-friendly!
