Nora's Alphabet Book: A Quick and Easy Guide to Sight and Sounding America's Alphabet

If you're wondering how to teach your child to recognize the letters of the alphabet, Nora's Alphabet Book is the answer.

Building on the power of mnemonics, Nora's Alphabet Book is a simple read-aloud for younglings that matches each letter in the alphabet with the corresponding sound it makes. Each letter has its own page with a big, corresponding, illustration of something that starts with that letter AND looks like the shape of its letter, too, serving as an easy-to-follow, "see-and-say" mnemonic device. Remember: The whole point of reading is to get ideas, but before you can get the ideas from reading you have to group words together to form sentences, and before you can put words together to form sentences you have to put sounds together to form words, and before you can put sounds together to form words you have to know the sounds the letters make, and this book serves as a gentle introduction to that conversation. Nora's Alphabet Book is best suited for younglings who already know the alphabet on sight, but might struggle a bit with knowing the alphabet on sound.
