Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

When kids begin reading, one of the first things they learn is how sounds are connected to letters. This small, sturdy board book is a simple but entertaining way for kids to start learning phonics. Each page, illustrated in DK's engaging visual style, teaches a single sound--some are single letter sounds like e, and others are combinations like oo. The book features 33 sounds in alphabetical order. Each sound appears in a small box at the top of the page, and three photos of items whose names contain those sounds help kids make the connection. Whether a child reads this book alone or with a parent, the straightforward presentation makes My First Phonics Board Book a useful introduction to a lifetime of reading adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have, June 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: My First Phonics Board Book (Board book)

My toddler loves My First Phonics board book! Like the other titles in the series, this one features photographs of common objects, but this one categorizes them to help toddlers recognize the objects' names phonetically.

Though it is for young readers who are a bit more advanced, even younger kids will enjoy looking at the pictures and naming the objects that they recognize. My toddler has no concept of phonics, but still spends a great deal of time pouring through the photos and pointing and naming familiar objects.

Well worth the price!

This series of board books are fantastic.

I started collecting these for my daughter after she was given one at 6 months and this is what we started to read to her every night. She woud sit and demand it to be read over and over and over again. The board pages and are easy for baby and toddler to turn and the pictures (real photography not illustrations) are wonderful.

The phonics book uses everyday objects to help your baby and toddler learn and hear the different sounds the same letter can make.

If your looking for a great picture book to share with your baby this is the one (and the series of books) to buy. You can never have too many books to read with your children.
