Hands-on craft projects can make learning phonics lots of fun as well as help children remember what sound goes with what letter. In this book designed to supplement the teaching of letter sounds, Kathy Ross draws on her thirty years experience as a preschool teacher and curriculum developer. She has designed an easy-to-make craft based on the sound of each letter from the alphabet, from Activity on an Anthill to a Zipper-Bag Zoo Book.
