Alphabetti Book 1-D

Quick Start Guide
Read the book WITH your child. You
read the regular text, and he/she reads
the big, red words, sort of like reading
the different parts in a play.

Help your child sound out

the words as needed.

Read the book many times. This

helps develop the eye muscles and
left-to-right reading patterns that are
necessary for reading.

Dont rush it. Body builders

dont train in a day, neither
does a child.
