Spark children's love of books and reading as they learn each alphabet letter and letter-sound relationships with these multisensory activities, games, and patterns based on favorite books for beginning readers. For each letter you'll find a motivating introductory activity... 10 or more recommended story books... a recipe related to the theme... a music activity... an art activity... and a reproducible research project that builds a basic library skill.
