Xerox) But how many words do you know that actually start with the letter x? There aren’t very many, so the word x ylophone is often the go-to in alphabet books featuring words that start with x.
When the letter x starts a word, it sounds like the letter z (e.g. The letter x sounds like a z sound at the beginning of words. The letter G makes a hard sound like in goat & gorilla, but it can also make a soft sound like a letter j in giraffe & gem. The letter C makes a hard sound like in cat & castle, but it can also make a soft sound like a letter s in city & Cinderella. Two of the consonant letters (c & g) make a hard sound and a soft sound. 
but we’re not going to worry about that right now. There’s also a schwa sound which sounds like a short u in words like above, b alloon, bott om, etc.( A is for apple & ape, E is for elephant & eagle, I is for iguana & ice-cream, O is for octopus & ocean, U is for umbrella & unicorn).
There are short vowel sounds & long vowel sounds. The vowels can make make more than one initial sound. Okay, so here’s where things start to get tricky: There are five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and twenty-one consonants (which is all the rest of the alphabet letters). The English language is made up of 26 alphabet letters. So, if you’re specifically looking for an alphabet book to use as a phonics teaching tool, there are some important things to know about our alphabet. If the learning goal is to help kids learn what an uppercase & lowercase letter looks like (B b) and connect it with the initial sound that it makes (buh), then some ABC books are better than others.

Not all ABC books are created equal for learning how to read.Ī child’s first exposure to phonics might very well be an alphabet book. There’s an alphabet book for every possible interest and theme. Today ABC books are available in every possible theme from The Dinosaur Alphabet Book to The Construction Alphabet and B is for Ballet: A Dance Alphabet.
