Letterland ABC

The Letterland ABC brand is a brand exclusive to the UK as far as I am aware; however, their books and activities can be purchased in the US via stores like Amazon and auction sites such as Ebay. The reason I posted the Letterland books today even though they aren’t as readily accessible to the US market is because I truly believe in their power to teach young children to grasp letters and the sounds those letters make. In my home we used the Letterland books to teach my younger brothers to read and I have witnessed firsthand the amazing ability of these books to really connect with children and get them to focus on their letters by

attaching letters to fun characters with individual personalities. The Letterland books are focussed around the letters of the alphabet, each one being a character such as "Annie the Apple" "Robber Red" "Clever Cat" etc. Each character makes use of alliteration in their name making them easy to remember as well as making use of the individual letter sounds. Each character is perfectly drawn to create a sweet faced individual that your child is sure to remember. The Letterland ABC book is just the beginning of the Letterland series and if you take a look around you will find many other helpful Letterland products such as workbooks, a nursery frieze and many other books that make use of the individual letters! I found today’s Letterland book via Amazon.com; however, you may find other books by searching around online at sites such as Ebay or simply other websites that focus on products in the UK, it doesn’t take long nor much extra postage to ship a book overseas. |

Hi there,
Letterland is actually quite prevalent here in North America; I taught with the system in my Kindergarten classroom for ten years, with wonderful results, and am now the Canadian distributor. I have close to 2000 customers here in Canada - schools, homeschoolers, and parents alike. Letterland is a wonderful way to teach young children as it is very developmentally appropriate - children live in a land of make-believe and the Letterland methodology taps into that superbly. Teachers find that their children learn to read at a quicker pace, and parents enjoy seeing their children so enthusiastic about language.
Although you can buy books from ebay, I have noticed that the prices are often very inflated. Here in Canada, visit my website at http://www.letterlandcanada.com for ordering information (you will soon have the option of buying online) and for orders in the US, http://www.letterland.com.
Happy reading!!
