When kids begin reading, one of the first things they learn is how sounds are connected to letters. This small, sturdy board book is a simple but entertaining way for kids to start learning phonics. Each page, illustrated in DK's engaging visual style, teaches a single sound, some are single letter sounds like /e/, and others are combinations like /oo/. The book features 33 sounds in alphabetical order. Each sound appears in a small box at the top of the page, and three photos of items whose names contain those sounds help kids make the connection. Whether a child reads this book alone or with a parent, the straightforward presentation makes My First Phonics Board Book a useful introduction to a lifetime of reading adventures.
