Exciting new titles in the brilliantly original TOUCHWORDS series. Tactile word + tactile object = KNOWLEDGE! Touch, together with sight and sound, form the three essential components of TouchWords: My Day through which children experience and learn about the world. TOUCHWORDS celebrates what the best educators already know: allowing a child to trace the raised letters of a simple word and then trace its corresponding object fosters critical early reading and language skills. Rilla Alexander's high impact but always whimsical images of the activities, tools, and toys a child encounters everyday are the perfect match to accompany the individually die cut letters of the label. There's a bonus of related fun-to-use 'conversation starter' words to encourage a playful exploration of more complex language and sentences.
