Wonderful cartoon depictions of favorite storybook characters - the three bears, Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, and two dozen more - capture young imaginations through phonics lessons: the "bee" sound of bears, the "jay" of Jack, and the "dee" of poor Dumpty. Reproducible handouts with illustrations, nursery rhymes, and fill-in-the-blank exercises set students to practicing letter recognition, initial-letter phonemic awareness, and phonics in an age-appropriate context for use at home or in school. Grades preK-2. Good Year Books. 155 pages.
