Increase your child's recognition, motor skills, and usage of the letter Dd!
"Danny Discovers The Missing Doughnuts" is for parents and teachers that want to do more than teach the letter Dd to preschool-aged children. It's for the parents and teachers that want to set the stage for children to fall in love with reading without having to struggle to keep them engaged and focused as they learn the letters of the alphabet. Our stories are both fun and engaging-children will want you to read it to them over and over, reinforcing the lessons they've learned in the process.
When "Danny Discovers The Missing Doughnuts" is combined with the customized story-based worksheets found inside the "Danny Discovers The Missing Doughnuts Workbook", you'll have no problem getting your preschooler to focus and complete the activity sheets. Your child's experience will be a stress-free one-they'll feel like they are living out a part of the story rather than "doing schoolwork." The workbook features dozens of activity pages that follow the story, allowing you to immerse your child in Danny's world as they improve pen control, retain new words from the story, and learn to connect those words with images that are featured within the pages.
With these advantages supporting you, you'll easily be able to give your child as much time on task as they need before moving to the next letter of the alphabet. The goal is not just to teach your child the alphabet, but to prime them for enjoying the experience of learning, a trait that will help them for the rest of their life. This is of especially vital importance for the skill of reading, as it is arguably the first key to unlocking suDdess later on in adulthood.
Many parents that are ready to start teaching their child the alphabet mistakenly believe that they don't have the power to control whether or not their child is interested in learning. Thankfully, this isn't true. Teaching through stories, especially at an early age, increases both active participation and listening skills, it also creates opportunities for children to form a "bond" with the characters that will help them to recognize those characters in other stories later on.
By introducing the characters in our books to your child, you'll be able to:
- Teach Lasting Lessons - Introduce important concepts such as kindness, patience, problem-solving, and politeness through a wide range of characters
- Expand Memory - increase your child's ability to comprehend and retain the new words they learn throughout the story
- Strengthen Phonics - reinforce new sounds and deepen the connection between words and images
- Foster Engagement - Instill a love for learning in your child that will serve them for the rest of their life
So, if you're ready to set the stage for your child to fall in love with reading, then "Danny Discovers The Missing Doughnuts" is what you've been looking for!
