Do your children find dictionaries a pain? In a way we can't blame them. Even for us big folks, looking something up in a phone book or dictionary can be a chancy adventure, like walking into a trackless jungle never to return! A key reason for our "reference phobia" can be a simple lack of mastery of the alphabet. When you have to back up to A and sing the Alphabet Song to figure out if Q comes before T, it can be a real pain to find things which are arranged alphabetically! These 4-minute Alphabetter exercises first divide the alphabet into 8 overlapping groups of five letters each, and drill your children thoroughly in these groups. No more going to the beginning of the alphabet to get a running start! The drills next focus on rapid recall of the relative position of any letter with respect to all other letters. Then come drills in alphabetizing multi-letter sequences and word lists. Alphabetter's final drills deal with actual reference book format. The Alphabetter workbook encompasses 16 levels of drill, with 12 copies of each level, for a total of 192 exercise pages. Your child repeats a given level each day until he can complete it correctly within the suggested 4-minute time limit. Includes QuicKeys Guide and Achievement Record.
