My Review:
Showing the magic of phonics through chantable rhymes, Letter Sounds Abound is an informative and multifunctional book perfect for beginner readers. It goes way beyond teaching the alphabet and offers a variety of engaging activities such as coloring, matching uppercase letters with their lowercase buddies, searching and finding letters hidden in funny pictures, and reading aloud challenging tongue twisters.
While exploring all the fun things to do in the book, young readers learn how to read and write each letter, how a letter or a pair of letters correspond to one or more sounds, how vowels and consonants work differently yet collectively in words, and how the pronunciations of certain letters vary when they are combined with different letters. The author cleverly incorporates an array of words featuring the same letter or letter combo into sentences that make sense in a humorous way. She also suggests some tips about memorizing letters through their unique shapes.
Overall, this is a well-crafted introductory book for developing early literacy skills.

Letter Sounds Abound is a friendly alphabet book that highlights big ideas about how written language works for preschool and kindergarten children. It focuses on the most common letter-sound relationships while helping children tune in to the fact that letters can make different sounds in different situations to avoid confusion for beginners. The rhyming text makes it fun for parents to read to their children time and again, while simple line drawings inspire imagination without competing for attention with text.
