Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
I Know the Alphabet
Stephen R. Covey · 2000
58/100
👎 Skip It
A solid Golden Books phonics workbook from 2000 that covers the fundamentals — letter recognition, beginning sounds, tracing — in a teacher-approved format that worked well for its era. The authorship attribution is uncertain, there is no story or narrative to engage young readers, and the landscape of early literacy materials has expanded enormously since then.
