1. the illustrated rhyme or chant
2. teaching ideas - a mini-lesson for every day of the week
3. a reproducible or patterns to use with the activities
Also included: alphabet cards, two-page student inventory to assess phonemic awareness level. Fun, instructive illustrations throughout. All 112 pages perforated for easy removal.
