More information
I'm cheating a bit because this is my own book and I'm proud of it. (You may disregard my rating--winks). Not only does "ABC, Follow Me!" help children with the sounds of letters (phonemic awareness), but it also helps them recognize and differentiate letter symbols. The crafts are included not just for their fun value, but also because they help children get a kinetic feel for letter shapes--something that can be very useful for dyslexic learners. For example, one craft suggests that children cut out large letters and then place a sheet of paper over the cut-out and make a rubbing. Also included are playground activities using letter chants, dramatic play suggestions, ideas for related creative art projects, and bibliographies of additional useful resources.

For all K & Grade 1 Teachers
Every kindergarten and first grade teacher needs this book! Fun rhymes teach and reinforce phonemic awareness. Crafts are age-appropriate and inexpensive, created with materials most teachers have on hand. Craft patterns are included, as well as photos of the finished product. The lessons offered are great ways to engage children in learning. ... Read more

Great book for learning letters, reading, and writing!
I bought this for my 2-year-old even though it is for slightly older kids.There are several ways to use this book for different levels of learning.Right now we just read it for letter recognition, and she enjoys the puzzles.It also helps with learning to read and write as well!This is a great book that can be used for years!

This one is a keeper...
I bought this book to encourage my 4-year old son to begin letter tracing.He already knew his alphabet by sight, but I couldn't find anything that interested him...as far as being able to write/trace the letters. We have several wipe-off marker type books.This is the only book that has captured his attention long enough to want to trace the letters. He likes that the wipe-off marker that is included has an eraser tip.He also likes all of the puzzle pieces and letters that came with the book.They are fun to dig through while he tries to find the matching letters to go with each picture.It's like having a treasure hunt.

I like that there are so many different levels of learning in this book, and it really is just a lot of fun!I wish I had one when I was little...

Ingenious!
We have dozens of ABC books on our bookshelves, and none has captured my son's (or my) attention quite like this one.The rhyming riddles are ingenious, and accompanied by the 4-piece puzzles, they make this book one of the most engaging and innovative teaching tools I've seen.Highly recommended!

A Favorite!
I got this for my daughter when she turned three.She is now four and still loves to get it out to practice her writing.She will sit for an hour working through the pages.It has been a great help for her writing skills.

I also recommend Now I know my 123's.

A Great Learning Book
My Mom bought this for my then 2-yr-old daughter. We played with it then, but now that she is almost 4 we are really beginning to learn with it. She had trouble tracing letters in her other workbooks but was able to trace without trouble in this book. She now recognizes more letters than ever before and it is all starting to "click" because of this book. It's great! ... Read more
