For parents looking to engage their little ones, the My Letter Book series is an excellent resource that promises to keep babies and toddlers busy while fostering early literacy skills. This delightful collection is designed to introduce young children to the alphabet in a fun and interactive way.

Each booklet in the My Letter Book series focuses on a specific letter, from Aa to Zz, making it easy for children to learn and recognise letters through various activities. The booklets are filled with colourful illustrations and engaging content that capture the attention of young minds. For instance, the My Letter Bb Book features charming images of objects that start with the letter ‘B’, such as balloons, bears, and buses, which not only makes learning enjoyable but also helps children associate letters with sounds and words.

To create a hands-on learning experience, parents can print the pages of each booklet on sturdy cardstock, laminate them for durability, and bind them together.

The tactile experience of handling the booklets adds another layer of engagement for toddlers, encouraging them to explore and interact with each letter.

The My Letter Book series is perfect for home learning or classroom settings. It provides a structured yet playful way for children to develop their literacy skills at an early age. As they progress through the alphabet, they will gain confidence in their ability to recognise letters and sounds, setting a solid foundation for future reading and writing.

If you’re seeking an effective way to keep your baby or toddler entertained while also supporting their educational journey, look no further than the My Letter Book series. With its variety of letter-specific booklets, your little ones will be engaged and eager to learn their ABCs!

Hi, I’m Monica, an Early Childhood Education Certified Teacher. I started out as a homeschool preschool mom, but quickly learned I have a passion for helping other moms and teachers with their preschool at home efforts. Now I teach other moms how to preschool at home through my online preschool program: Visual Montessori.

I spent over five years developing a preschool learning curriculum for my two boys and I used the principles of Montessori, and everything I learned about childhood development, to create a preschool learning curriculum based upon the 12 Sensitive Periods for children between the ages of birth and six years old as outlined in Montessori.

PreK Week in Review: Letter of the Week ~ A

This week we started with the Letter of the Week curriculum (see resources below for links) and Fifi L.O.V.E.D. it! We used this curriculum with koko a few years ago and he didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as Fifi does.

Our letter A wall

Our Letter A biscuit snacks. We baked letter biscuits every week to go with our theme.

Making our letter “a” for our file (this will eventually become our letter of the week binder when she has completed the curriculum)

The completed letter. She decided that she was going to colour the “a” in rainbow colours and use letter stamps to decorate it. The letter “A” stamps were homemade (keep an eye out for the “how to” post coming soon)

Floor number beanbag toss. I changed this game up a little. Because the numbers are laminated, I was worried that she was going to slip when she jumped onto the numbers and hurt herself. I decided to make this a beanbag toss instead. She loved it and it worked on gross motor skills in the process! I put the numbers in two rows on our entrance steps. She then had to toss a beanbag at the number I called out. She loved this particular activity.

Roll an ant. She didn’t particuluarly like this activity. She find using scissors very tiring but I’m sure with time and exercise, she’ll start enjoying it more.

Do a dot page. I don’t have dot markers, so we use our monster stamps. She loves it.
