My First Phonics Board Book

With the younger set, it's just your basic one-word book. You point to pictures and say the word. (Or you shake it up a bit and point to pictures and name something totally different, like "elephant" for "flower". This is apparently hilarious.) Then, with older kids, you can leave them alone with the book to try to work out some phonemic awareness from the letters in red. It's exactly what you'd expect from this sort of book, and does its job well.

This series of board books are fantastic.I started collecting these for my daughter after she was given one at 6 months and this is what we started to read to her every night. She woud sit and demand it to be read over and over and over again. The board pages and are easy for baby and toddler to turn and the pictures (real photography not illustrations) are wonderful.The phonics book uses everyday objects to help your baby and toddler learn and hear the different sounds the same letter can make. If your looking for a great picture book to share with your baby this is the one (and the series of books) to buy. You can never have too many books to read with your children.

My toddler loves My First Phonics board book! Like the other titles in the series, this one features photographs of common objects, but this one categorizes them to help toddlers recognize the objects' names phonetically.Though it is for young readers who are a bit more advanced, even younger kids will enjoy looking at the pictures and naming the objects that they recognize. My toddler has no concept of phonics, but still spends a great deal of time pouring through the photos and pointing and naming familiar objects.Well worth the price!
