As teachers, we know that reading books daily to our students is so beneficial to their learning experience! I like to start out many of my lessons with a related read aloud story to help teach certain academic or social skills. Today, I am going to share my favorite alphabet books to teach letter recognition and letter sounds to your Pre-K or Kindergarten students!
