ABC See, Hear, Do 2: Blended Beginning Sounds is the second book in the award-winning ABC See, Hear, Do series. Designed with beginning readers in mind, this series makes learning to read fun and engaging. Once your child knows the individual letter sounds of the alphabet, it's time to start learning letter combinations that blend together! This book uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles to help children recognize blended sounds. The combination of cute animal pictures with fun hand motions helps young children easily remember each letter blend or digraph. The visual cues and hand movements help hold children’s interest in sounding out words. This method is simple, engaging, and effective. Great for homeschoolers, teachers, speech language pathologists, and parents, especially when combined with ABC See, Hear, Do’s other resources. Best for ages 3-7, or beginning readers in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.
