By actively involving the child in hearing, saying, seeing, and writing the letters and sounds, this workbook develops a child's skill in recognizing the alphabet and the initial sounds in words through a series of 78 lessons. It is appropriate for parents to use with their kindergarten and beginning first grade children. By using this learning technique, the workbook quickly focuses the child's attention and reinforces basic skills. This approach also encourages the child to create and to write from the very first lesson. After a preface and advice on getting started, sections of the workbook focus on printing letters of the alphabet, consonant letters and sounds, and the short vowels. (RS)
