Obvious
Letters

Recently, I had the pleasure of
perusing this marvelously obvious way to help children learn
about the letters of the alphabet.
In this book, you won't find the everyday picture of a ball with
the letter "b" underneath. Instead, you will find a
backpack in the shape of the letter "b"! A
caterpillar forms the letter "c" and a digger is
formed with the capital letter "D". |

The idea here is to
combine recognition of an object with the sound of the letter that it
begins with. This gives the child an object to associate the letter
with in an easy to remember form. For further learning fun, adults can
photocopy the pages so that the letters can be colored in.
Children of preschool age and up will find this book fun and easy to
follow with its large black and white pictures and colored letters.
The letters seem to hop off the page making it even easier for young
eyes to focus on the object and its sound.
The fact that all of the letters in this book are shaped in to an
object that a child can recognize, makes it an invaluable learning
tool, even for the very young. This is a wonderful book for parents,
educators, homeschoolers, or just for some fun bed time reading.
