5.0 out of 5 stars My Daughter Loves This Book!, January 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Now I Know My ABC's (Spiral-bound)

I bought this book for my 5-year old daughter who kept telling me she wanted to learn to read. We have spent hours having fun with this book! She was ready to start stringing sounds into words, but now that we've been working with this book, she's actually beginning to READ. She spells words with the magnetic letter tiles and practices writing them on the dry erase lines. The beauty of this book is that it is so versatile, you can use it for those who need to work on letter recognition, and those who are beginning readers. I liked it so much I bought one for a friend!

This book is chock full of activities and will keep your pre-school and /or kindergarten child occupied for hours. It includes a rhyming riddle and a clever magnitized board on which to assemble a puzzle for each letter of the alphabet. I loved that the author gives suggestions for three different ability levels. As a teacher this book definitely will be part of my phonemic awareness program.

I got this for my daughter when she turned three. She is now four and still loves to get it out to practice her writing. She will sit for an hour working through the pages. It has been a great help for her writing skills.

I also recommend Now I know my 123's.
