A Spanish alphabet book is one of the most basic materials you will ever use to teach and practice with kids and new language learners. Learning the alphabet is the first step to help kids recognize the letters and sounds that will lead them to form words. This is the starting point to develop reading and writing skills later.
A good Spanish alphabet book engages the child or student with nice images. The child will also associate or link the image to the letter and the example word used in the book.
