Each letter of the English alphabet gets its own spread here, with labelled illustrations of things whose names begin with it.
The pictures do most of the teaching, giving a child several examples per letter rather than one token image, and tracing and colouring tasks follow so that recognition turns into practice. Guiding a pencil over the letter shapes builds motor control, while the colouring pages leave room for a child to make their own choices. The title was put together by Rahul Dhamija, Renu Dhamija and Sandeep Yadav with Wonder House Books.
What makes it useful:
• A dedicated page for every letter from A to Z
• Labelled artwork giving several examples for each sound
• Tracing tasks that develop fine motor control
• Colouring space that invites a child to add their own work
Good for babies and preschoolers meeting the alphabet for the first time, and for parents who want an activity book rather than a plain picture book. Published by Wonder House Books and available at Boipoka.
