Creative Entourage Literacy Series of books are designed to promote beginning reading skills. Every letter of the alphabet is used to build letter recognition and phonetic pronunciation for beginning readers. A variety of sight, color, and number words are used to encourage reading development. The book also contains consonant blends such as cl, br, sp, and more. Rhyming words make reading the story fun for children. The print used for the story text strengthens correct letter formation to go with beginning handwriting skills. This book also supports extended study in language arts, math, science, and art activities. The Creative Entourage Literacy Series will be a great tool for beginning literacy programs, ESL (English Second Language) education, and children with special needs. Its refreshing to see such creativity and simplicity used to help those who so desperately want to learn. I wholeheartedly recommend this series to anyone as a unique educational tool. -Mark Jobe, Pastor of Global Ministries, Gateway Church, Southlake Texas Patti Toler is an author, consultant, and speaker.
