Simply Charlotte Mason presents Level 1 of Delightful Reading: Playing with Letters and Sounds for your beginning readers. Taking the cues from your student and their readiness to start the reading journey, this kit starts with playing games to learn letters and their sounds. Inside your box you receive the Games and Activity Book (teacher’s guide), A is for Art: A Fine Art Alphabet Book which is a hardcover picture book; 8.5x11 ABC placemat, letter bookmark, 20 bingo cards, 48 craft sticks, upper- and lower-case ABC stickers, the My ABC Book to personalize a scrapbook of items associated with each letter; and 6-decks of fun flash cards.
All 100+ games and activities are laid out and scripted (when necessary) for you in the Games and Activities Book. Notes in the margins will provide reminders, suggestions, and encouragement. A Master List of needed materials is found in the beginning. Each activity bolds the materials needed for that activity. Activity #57 is when the My ABC Book is introduced to start this creative and personalized scrapbook of letters. Have fun making this item unique to your student and what they want to include to represent that letter: bubble wand ‘b’; a red ribbon for ‘r’; a yogurt lid for ‘y’; etc.
The hardcover A is for Art: A Fine Art Alphabet Book is a picture study with a letter purpose! Each fine art selection highlights items that begin with each letter of the alphabet. The full-color art piece is cited with title and artist. This is a wonderful way to introduce picture studies early on in your students’ learning.
Organized and stored in the Reading Kit box are 6-decks of flash cards. Each deck has its own distinguishable classic artwork on one side for easy sorting—and letters, words, and illustrations on the flip side to study and play games.
What a delightful and fun way to introduce letters and sounds to young learners! ~Rebecca
