Welcome back to my 4-part series on teaching the alphabet! Today, I’m sharing 26 different Alphabet Books for Kids. Reading alphabet books is a GREAT way to expose children to the alphabet within the context of a book. It’s also a great way to work on other skills, such as book and print awareness.
There is quite a variety in this group. There are some well-known books that have been around a while and newer books you may never have seen. Some of the books feature the alphabet’s letter sounds, like tongue twisters. Others, like Andy, That’s My Name, do not feature the entire alphabet, but show kids the power of letters. Still other alphabet books feature letters in fun and interactive ways. In this list, you’ll also find a few alphabet books that older kids will enjoy, such as Alphabeasties and Q is for Duck.
