At last! These lay-flat full color booklets put the 3-part cards and definition cards together in a book designed specifically for the
young child. The cover is simple and uses only lower case letters; this makes it more accessible and inviting for the child who has
not yet mastered upper case symbols. The spine is a tight, spiral binding that allows the book to lay flat when open. The pages are
a heavyweight, coated cardstock providing a durable and inviting tactile interface. Open the book and find the photo on the left-hand
page (where the eye naturally falls first) and the corresponding definition (with the term isolated in red) on the right-hand page.
Children who are reading can use the books to check their own work with the definition cards. These are also wonderful to read
together with children of all ages.
Books are approx. 4¼” x 4¼” to compliment the size of the 3-part cards and definition cards. Add on "Parts of" Photo cards and
Definition cards to give children the opportunity to manipulate the photos and words, to interact with the components of language.
