Each letter of the alphabet gets a page to itself, shown in both capital and small forms beside an everyday object that starts with it.
Pairing A with an apple or B with a ball anchors an abstract symbol to something a child already recognises, which is what makes early alphabet work stick. The layout stays uncluttered, one letter and one picture, so nothing competes for attention. Board pages and rounded corners let a toddler turn the pages alone, and the repetition across readings does the rest of the work.
Handy to know:
• Uppercase and lowercase forms shown together for every letter
• Familiar objects used to link each letter to a sound and a word
• One letter per page, keeping the visual field simple
• Smooth rounded corners and pages a toddler can turn alone
