Toddler Lesson Plans: Learning ABC's: Twenty-six week guide to help your toddler learn ABC's and numbers(paperback-black and white) (Early Learning) Paperback – November 6, 2016

We are on the letter E and I am LOVING this book. My 3.5 year old has loved every single activity. Before this book, we would get so frustrated with each other, because I was just having her try to write letters and recognize them...but it was not working for EITHER of us. These activities make learning fun for her and make the information really STICK. It has also given me ideas on other ways to teach her information that doesn't require sitting at a desk with a pencil and paper. She knows the sounds, can identify the letters, tell me what words start with the letters she has learned, can write the letters SO WELL, and we have just had so much fun doing these together. My only wish is that the appendix you can download was friendly for B&W printing. We do not have a color printer, so when I print some of them off, the pictures are gray/black and she cannot really color them to make them more fun. It's not a deal breaker for me, though. We are on track for her to learn all of her letters well in advance of beginning school, so I am REALLY excited to have found something that works for us! GREAT purchase and I couldn't be happier! Thank you!! Also for any parents looking for some additional tools out there, check out Jack Hartmann on YouTube - our daughter's 1st grade teacher uses some of his videos for virtual learning and he has everything from learning letters to sight words, counting, etc. Our 3 year old has really enjoyed those as a supplement to this book. :)

Very easy to understand and implement the ideas.

My 4 year old and I have really enjoyed this book! Each letter includes 6 activities total. The sixth is optional. So you can do one activity a day for 6 days if you want.. Or multiple activities a day if you aren't a letter of the week type of person.If activities include coloring pages or cutting, they are included in the book with an appendix. Otherwise, there is a list of supplies for every activity. Even better about the appendix is that it is also included in pdf form that you can download! So if you have more than one kiddo learning, you can print a page for them as well. Or if you're a person who doesn't like tearing out the pages, you don't have to!Personally, my biggest complaint is that the letter cut-out and assembly activities are not large enough. In my opinion, the font structure used is terrible thin, which can make cutting the letters out and gluing them together a little difficult. Some of the letters, such as C and D, are not one continuous letter and are instead broken up into pieces, for instance.Despite my one grumbling complaint, this book has been an invaluable asset for me in homeschooling my daughter! I definitely recommend you buy it if you're on the fence! 👌

My son is three, and he loves the activities! They’re all super fun and simple and makes him love doing school. The only thing I dislike is the activity appendix pages are not perforated, so it can be fairly difficult to get them out without tearing the pages. Overall, it is an excellent curriculum to learn the ABCs and introduce the concept of school!

By far the best curriculum I have found so far! My 4 and a half year old son and I started working through this book and I am so pleased with how much it is helping him. He has not enjoyed learning about letters until we found this book. The book covers uppercase and lowercase letter recognition as well as the sounds each letter makes. Lessons are short for kiddos who don't like sitting still for long but they are very fun and thorough. I am a working Mom so this book has made preschool doable for us before going to work. Most things needed for each lesson you already have around the house. I've had to find alternative items here and there but I have yet to need to go to the store for anything. I really appreciate this book :)

I’m impressed! I decided to homeschool preschool my little one, but I was looking for some ideas. I knew we needed to still work on our letters. She can identify most of them, but gets a little confused by some and doesn’t know the phonetics. This book has creative ways for each letter Monday through Friday. It’s one letter each week and each day there is a different lesson for the letter of the week, Monday through Friday. There’s creative ideas and alternative lessons. There’s also a bunch of activities in the back of the book that go with the lessons. This book would be for more play based learning. This is exactly what I was looking for to help my little really get to know their letters and understand the phonetics so we can gear up for reading.

Great lesson plans and activities. I wish the pages to copy were not shaded in, they are hard to see the children's coloring on top of shaded areas.

There are SO MANY incredible ideas to use in this book to teach your toddler aged child the ABCs. There is one "lesson plan" for every day of the week, taking 26 weeks to learn the ABCs. We don't do it that way, as we only pick out a few and use those throughout the week, but what I am finding (we are up to the letter F), my 2.5 year old wants to do the activities from the prior weeks every single day. She LOVES them! So every day, we count the apple seeds on the apples (A), we put the b butt with the B head (B) (see video), we drive the appropriate colored and numbered car into the appropriate colored parking spot (C), we have two doggies that love their treats - the big D doggie, and the little d doggie (D), we have to put the appropriate amount of eggs (which I labeled e and E) in the appropriate nests (E), and we sing the Frog song daily with the frogs jumping off the log (F). We LOVE these games! Sarah LOVES to color the letters that we put together! And overall - we are only a few pages into this book. I have already purchased multiple copies of this book to give to friends as gifts for their toddlers. I would HIGHLY recommend! Thanks SO MUCH Autumn! (Also, make sure to sign up for Autumn's newsletter as that kicks butt, too!)

I am very happy with this purchase, looking forward to use it with my toddler classroom!

Bueno

I have just received this book and have already started using it. I am already seeing my girls learning their alphabet and enjoying doing so. The activities are fun and educational. I would recommend this book to all parents of preschoolers.

Good lota of writing spaces
