Together, The Apple Bear Cookie Book and The Apple Bear Cookie Song help teach the ABC’s, letter sounds, word association, rhyming, rhythm, C.V.C. words, sight words, word families, and more!
Kids start to learn alphabet letters typically by the age of 2. They typically learn the alphabet at the age of 3 and even begin to connect the letter sounds with the letters. By the age of 4, kids typically know the alphabet in the correct order. These age groups are within the preschool to kindergarten age group, before they go to the first grade.
The best way to learn the ABCs is through singing, seeing, reading, and repetition. It’s important for kids to start learning the sounds of alphabet letters, which allows them to start connecting those letters into words.
A child should typically know and learn the ABC song by the end of kindergarten! Parents can often confuse their babies and toddlers memorizing the ABC song with actually understanding it! But that’s ok, because it’s still great parenting to read together every day, sing, point out letters, and encourage children that they are learning by engaging. That’s why having multiple ABC books on the bookshelf, like The Apple Bear Cookie Book, is so important!
Yes! Early repetition of reading ABC books with babies and toddlers helps them learn letters, letter sounds, and learn to read. That’s why teachers, parents, and care givers have loved having the Apple Bear Cookie Book and Song to have on the shelf.
