"This
book was phenomenal! The “Holder and Fastie Alphabet” prompts greatly
helped my kindergarten students in their master of letters and sounds.
Their strong skills in letters and sounds was pivotal in their development
as readers and writers. The literacy center activities taken from this great
resource were highly motivating and exciting for my students."
