Children learn by doing!  The Alphabet Workout program capitalizes on the young child’s excitement for learning to read by making it fun!  Children march, jump, spin, and sing as they learn letter sounds and how to blend them together to make words. At the heart of the program is the book, Introduction to Letter Sounds.  Support materials include flash cards, the engaging DVD Little Readers in Motion, and the captivating sing-along CD The Alphabet Workout complete with lyrics and actions.
