Book Review + Giveaway: Letter Sounds Abound

Book Description: Letter Sounds Abound is a friendly alphabet book that highlights big ideas about how written language works for preschool and kindergarten children. It focuses on the most common letter-sound relationships while helping children tune in to the fact that letters can make different sounds in different situations to avoid confusion for beginners. The rhyming text makes it fun for parents to read to their children time and again, while simple line drawings inspire imagination without competing for attention with text.

My Thoughts: As a writer of children’s books, I spend a lot of time thinking about language, word choices and how words sound. And I love to read about words and how they work together. So Letter Sounds Abound was a very welcome surprise — a book that teaches the sounds of the alphabet in a whole new way for children who are just starting to grasp the wonderful world of words. The rhyming text makes this a fun book to read together while the repetition of letter sounds reinforces the phonetics in the English language. The line drawn illustrations are simple and engaging for children to look at as they turn the pages. This is a perfect choice for young children just starting to read.

Twenty-six letters and forty-four sounds, the more that we look, we find letters abound!
