Review
Mary Jo Ayres serves up 160 pages of themed activities for children learning letters and letter sounds, offering a host of suggestions for arts and crafts, tactile experiences, games, related play and fieldtrips for every letter of the alphabet. She winds up with recipes for finger and face paint, dyes for noodles and rice, cornstarch clay and all sorts of other gooey stuff, plus simple food recipes; Ayres also includes directions for crafts and fingerplays.
Her audio cassette is a series of simple, short, repetitive songs illustrating letter sounds, that young children to follow and sing along with easily. A 1998 Parents' Choice® Silver Honor.
