I received
these twenty-three letter books
at the very end of the school year. They were cute, but I was ready for summer. Instead of putting them into a box for summer, however, I sent them to my daughter’s house for her soon-to-be-kindergarten son to enjoy.
When I visited just a few short weeks later, to my surprise, her twenty-eight-month-old son pulled out
the
Letter Buddies
books
and proceeded to “read” them to me. He got the first letter right. Lucky guess, I thought. But much to my surprise he knew all twenty-six letters of the alphabet and yes, you guessed it, all of the alphabet sounds too.
The small size of these books are perfect for little hands. To top it off, I found the great companion app! You can view it on Youtube here . With this companion piece, now I wonder if the one-year-old will know all of the letters and sounds on my next visit!
At the bottom of this page is a great alphabet game to play. Enjoy!
