The Finger Phonics books teach children how to recognize and form the 42 main letter sounds.

When kids begin reading, one of the first things they learn is how sounds are connected to letters. This small, sturdy board book is a simple but entertaining way for kids to start learning phonics. Each page, illustrated in DK's engaging visual style, teaches a single sound--some are single letter sounds like e, and others are combinations like oo. The book features 33 sounds in alphabetical order. Each sound appears in a small box at the top of the page, and three photos of items whose names contain those sounds help kids make the connection. Whether a child reads this book alone or with a parent, the straightforward presentation makes My First Phonics Board Book a useful introduction to a lifetime of reading adventures.
