"Teach Your Child to Read: A Mommy + Me Coloring Book" — REVIEW

Every page in this book is so cute and adorable.
My granddaughter and I had so much fun going through and reading this book together.
The only thing I wish for was that she had not started school yet. She is in kindergarten.
She kept telling me that was not how they were learning how to say the letters in her school. They were using different words. I believe this is a great book to have if your starting to teach a child letters and how to pronounce them.
I would definitely recommend this book. It kept our interest for quite some time, coloring and practicing the letters.

"Teach Your Child to Read: A Mommy + Me Coloring Book" — REVIEW

This is a well designed and thought out activity book. I am an English language teacher to adults who do not have any English skills. The phonics reviews are excellent and would be very engaging for children and easy for parents to use in teaching their children. Kids who love to color will be very pleased at the variety of pictures and activities and parents will enjoy the ease of use. Most items in here would also be appropriate for my pre-lit adults.
