The ABCs of the Sounds We Read
Going Beyond the Alphabet to Discover the Reading Code (with Audio CD)
Introduction to Phonograms
This is not just another children’s book. It is the the ONLY book of its kind. We take you beyond the ABCs to the world of phonograms, the sounds that make up all the words we read. The read-along audio CD demonstrates the proper pronunciation of each phonogram. The colorful, action-packed pictures encourage much discussion to stimulate visual, language, comprehension and critical thinking skills even at very young ages. Once you know the phonograms–a simple extension of the 26 letters of the alphabet–you can say them, show them, and teach them.
