Reading On the Go Wherever We Go Part II: For Parents of Preschool, Emerging and Established Readers (with Judy O’Halloran)
We wouldn’t leave “f” out of the alphabet. So why don’t we teach “ph” to our preschoolers? Come on an interactive journey through grocery stores, restaurants and playgrounds that will take you beyond the alphabet to the phonograms, the smallest sounds that make up the words we read.
