This outstanding program guide presents a complete, yearlong shared reading curriculum that introduces all 26 letters of the alphabet plus ch, sh, th, and wh. Each letter/sound is introduced with an engaging alliterative sentence. Children learn about basic concepts of print as you model how to read the sentence. Students find upper and lowercase letters, previously introduced letters, and sight words. They count syllables, look for familiar word parts, and find examples of Look-Alike Words (giggles vs goggles). Then cut apart and rebuild the sentences as they make their very own illustrated Alphabet Picture Books. The 134-page, 3-ring binder includes comprehensive lesson plans plus Blackline Masters and letter practice worksheets.
