Not only is there a huge hole in the ozone layer - there is a huge hole in the education market. This is an alphabet book with many differences from the norm, written by a very respected speech therapist with over thirty years experience. The easiest and most effective way to teach sound-letter links is in the form of an accurate alphabet book. This is an engaging, accurate alphabet book that could become a favorite bedtime story book resulting in education by osmosis. Most alphabet books on the market contain errors. The few that don't contain errors, include consonant clusters, which complicate the auditory message. This makes it more difficult for the child to perceive the dividing lines between sounds. There appear to be no alphabet books on the market that have a user guide, but this book does.

Sue Carolane has over 35 years of experience as a speech pathologist in education - pre-school, primary and secondary. Troubled by the increasing number of children struggling with learning to read, write and spell, she has combined her professional expertise with her lifestyle, using photographs of her alpacas to create an accurate and appealing book to address an area which is holding back many children as they learn to read - recognising a written letter and associating the sound it makes. Many alphabet books contain errors (eg. /c/ is for "cheetah"). This one does not.
