Concept books meet classic chalkboards in this innovative new way for kids to learn and play. Part of our Kinesthetic Learning Tools(tm) series,Chalkboard Books promote learning through action, rather than passive observation, utilizing a familiar classroom feature that allows them to erase mistakes or repeat the exercise. By drawing pictures that relate to fun-to-read rhymes, forming letters, and vocally answering questions, kids come to understand the relationship of written numbers, words, and letters to the sounds they make. Designed for ages 3-6, these books grow with the child, providing many ways to expand on each story. A parents' guide on the back cover explains how to get the most from these innovative books.
