Alphabet Story Time: August 4-5, 2014

Books:
A Is for Salad by Mike Lester
Animal ABC by Marcus Pfister *
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. *
Dr. Seuss's ABC by Dr. Seuss
Jeepers Creepers: A Monstrous ABC by Laura Leuck *

Craft: Alphabet Coloring Book
I found a printable alphabet coloring book online and printed it for the kids to color.  There are several available - simply choose your favorite one for your child.

Literacy Extensions:
- Practice written letter recognition.  Have your child point out all of the featured letters on a particular page.  Dr. Seuss's ABC works great for this as it uses both upper case and lower case letters.
- Practice phonetics by seeing if your child can go through the alphabet by giving their sounds rather than their names.
