Description

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 ofTouchWords: Clothesthrough 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 Alexanders high impact but always whimsical images of everyday wear are the perfect match to accompany the individually die cut letters of the label. Theres a bonus of related fun-to-use 'conversation starter' words to encourage a playful exploration of more complex language and sentences.
