Amanda's Book Nook: Volume 1: Volume 4 – Alphabet Books

Volume 4 – Alphabet Books

Alphabet books, (we like to call them ABC books in our house) are a wonderful addition to a child’s personal library. Not only do they allow your child to learn more vocabulary with picture representation, but they also provide them with an early introduction to the letters of the alphabet and subsequently, early reading skills. Often ABC books have a lot of rhythm and rhyme, which as I have mentioned earlier are two very important characteristics of good early children’s literature. I like to make up songs to ABC books (you can use familiar tunes if you have difficulty making your own tune), children tend to love music and this is a simple way to help them learn their alphabet.
