Andy the Alligator and Colleen the Canary have come to help children learn their ABCs through stories. The Alphabet Stories is a book that assists children to learn and recognize their letters from A to Z. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a short children's story. The majority of words in each of the stories begin with the designated letter associated with the story. For children, there are some words that are confusing as they sound as if they start with one letter but actually begin with another. This book allows children to learn the letter and then associate many words that start with each letter. By doing so, the child's vocabulary is expanded, their spelling is enhanced, and their pronunciation is magnified. The best way to teach children is through fun learning, which is why Andy and Colleen are here to help.
