There are so many wonderful alphabet books to share, and The Zoo I Drew by Todd Doodler is one of them. It features an animal per letter, and both the text and the drawings are playful and engaging.
Learning letters is an important early step towards reading, but sometimes alphabet books can seem just a little too long when read A to Z. One of my favorite ways to read an alphabet book is to hop around and spell things that mean something to the child who is listening. For example, the first letters we learn to recognize are usually those in our name. So one great way to break the book up might be to start with the letter "K" for Kate. I wonder who we'll find on that page?
Let's see...
It's a Koala! We could keep looking for the letters in my name, or we could look for Mom, Dad, or anyone else who is special to us. Be creative with your words and don't be afraid to get silly with it! You'll be amazed at how much fun an alphabet book can be.
