This book will quickly help beginning readers to recognize and understand the meaning of over 300 basic English words from A through Z. Each word is clearly defined and then used in one or more sample sentences. Lively, full color illustrations enhance the text. Each word has its own, easily recalled image. The 26 letters of the English alphabet are printed in sequence, in capitals and lower case, at the top of each page. Young children will thereby learn what a dictionary is and how to use it. Although designed for young children, this book will appeal to older children with reading difficulties and, of course, their teachers.
