Great book

This book proved not o be only satisfactory to me, but also to my daughter's english teacher. There are 4-5 different activities for each letter of the alphabet and each activity involves something preschoolers and kindergarter's are already familiar with, such as airplanes and bubbles. Each activity is a refridgerator paper and can be easily reviewed as well as inform those not so close-by relatives what your children are learning. Great book, would recommend it to anyone who is having a difficult time developing ideas for beginning letters.

Wonderful!

Teachers know that children learn best by engaging in hands-on, fun activities which reinforce the skill or concept being taught. Teachers also know that combining activities---say art and literacy, for example---make the learning process more vital, more engaging. We know these things; however, we don't always have the time to devise and plan those activities.To the rescue: Art Across the Alphabet. This jam-packed resource includes art-centered activities that will help your students with phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and pre-reading skills. Also included are sample letters home which will encourage parents to become involved, "alphabet gallery activities," as well as teacher-tested tips and suggestions.We "field-tested" many of the activities and found them easy to incorporate into our curriculum, well-written, and enjoyable. The letters home to parents are especially helpful and extremely well done. Highly Recommended.Reviewed by the Education Oasis staff.
