Rhyming text about the various sounds made by an array of animals and objects.

This imaginative journey through the alphabet teaches all the sound(s) made by each letter. With delightful characters such as dragons, elves, and hedgehogs students giggle their way through the ABCs. Toddlers and preschoolers often beg for the book to be read again spontaneously repeating the phonogram sounds laying the groundwork to become a strong reader and speller. Children ages 0-3 are developmentally tuned to the sound(s) of the language spoken around them. Young children are drawn to Doodling Dragons and desire to hear it read again and again while they mimic each sound. This provides not only an outstanding foundation for literacy skills but aids children in developing the building blocks for spoken language. Children ages 4-7 delight in hearing the sample words for each of the A-Z phonograms. By hearing and seeing their application within words, students develop phonemic awareness, or an understanding of how sounds combine to form words. Students also delight in the silly examples which provide another memory tool for mastering difficult sounds such as the /ü/ in "püt the bütcher in the püdding"

A fun educational book designed to promote language development, and imitation of gestures, sounds, words, and phrases.
