Children love books about themselves and their surroundings! This interest combined with their natural love for the alphabet makes The ABC Letter Book an especially effective learning tool for children. Little ones as young as one year old can benefit from caregivers and providers engaging them through letter pages that present familiar and customized pictures and photographs. Children of all different developmental levels learn to attend, point, give, match and communicate!

The ABC Letter Book's standard set up includes 26 letter pages that have two pictures of the same item per page; one picture is a photograph and the other is a line drawn representation. Since early learners generally first recognize photographs this format helps the child connect the different representations of an object which facilitates learning in school and center based programs where line drawn pictures are predominant.
 
Creative Uses
Ideas of how to use your child's picture book range from basic word modeling, to matching picture-to- picture, to beginning spelling and word recognition. Customization of your book makes it a tool that significantly enhances learning, peaking your child's interest to look at it again and again. Sensory activities can be incorporated by adding items such as foam stickers or the actual objects pictured. Communication modes easily can be explored by working with sign language, picture exchange and/or encouraging verbal imitation
