Hands on Alphabet Activities

This book is a great book with many ideas for each letter of the alphabet and I use it in my preschool class. Great for home schooling as well.

Great for Homeschool Preschoolers

I am currently using this book with my 2nd preschooler & thought I should add a review since I've been so happy with the curriculum. This satisfies the needs of those siblings who beg to do schoolwork with their older brothers & sisters. Even my kindergartener who has moved on to bigger and better things, still enjoys looking through her poems and pictures, and reading her mini-books. I did not do every thing reccommended in the book, but used the mini-books, along with the craft and poem to introduce the letters & sounds of the alphabet. My son looks forward to reading his completed books to his Daddy. I highly reccommend it!

Great Results in my Pre-k 4's and 5's Class

I modified ideas from the book for my preschool class with great results. We did a poem and a little book a week. We read the poem and book every day; it only took a few minutes. At the end of the week, I let the students make their own little book to take home. We would all read it together, and they had to touch each word as we read. Then we would play a game where I would have them touch different words at random to see if they could recognize the words and they did! This is a wonderful resource for older preschoolers and kindergarteners!

Supports learning letters and sounds while doing it in the context of reading little books. The self-esteem of the children grows rapidly as they have success "reading" the little books. A must for anyone who teaches children all about letters and sounds!

This book is amazing! Kids love it! Buy this book!
