“Animal Alphabet” by Ale Lluch is used to teach the Alphabet both capitalized and lowercased letters, reading, spelling, pronunciation, and associating words with their meaning. It includes animals in the book to associate letters with specific animals and how these animals are pronounced. The book has thick cardboard pages which uses sliding pieces. On the top of the moving peace it displays both upper and lowercase letters of a specific letter in the alphabet. When you move the piece to the left it reveals an animal associated with that letter as well as the spelling of it. The artist used a fun technique that allows the children to be directly involved with the book by allowing them to slide the piece back and forth. They see the letters in the alphabet and then the book shows them how letters associate with the sound of animal types. For example it has the letter B, b and then the child slides the piece and it displays a picture of a bear with how the word bear is spelled. The person reading the book to the child would pronounce the B sound and then say the word bear. My daughter is 3 years old and she can recognize letters and…

As children grow, it is important to find materials that correspond to their growth in multiple areas in order to strengthen and further their development. Perhaps one of the best tools for accomplishing this task is books, which can be used to strengthen a child’s cognition, language, and understanding of the world around them.

Before one even begins reading the story, the…
