Abadaba Alphabet: Learning Letter Sounds

The award-winning ABADABA ALPHABET helps young children learn LETTER SOUNDS, the most essential pre-reading skill. Mastering letter sounds from the very beginning of their passage to the world of reading helps eliminate the frustration and confusion often encountered in making the transition from letter names to letter sounds. Through rhyming verses, nonsense words, hilarious illustrations and a spirited CD, Abadaba Alphabet helps children open the door to literacy. Its unique approach is based on the Montessori approach to reading, and gives young children a solid learning advantage.
