There are two features in particular that set this book above similar titles. Number 1 is it has pages of words with the blended sounds of 'ch', 'sh', and 'th'.
And, reason Number 2 is the short sentences on each page have the special letter for that page highlighted in red in every word. So, the child sees the letter or double letter combination being used in writing!
I was really impressed by all the colorful pictures demonstrating how the alphabet makes up words we speak.
If your child has challenges learning to read, this very basic and colorful text could be just the incentive to keep stimulated, interested and learning.
I highly recommend adding this book to your child's library!
