Utilizing a multisensory approach, the ABC Trace and Say Alphabet Book allows your child to hear the sound and see the letters represented in their proper form, and then allows them to feel the way it is written when they trace the letter with their fingers. A motor pattern must be learned correctly the first time, therefore it is most important that your child follow the arrows and perform the letter correctly from the very beginning. This sets the foundation for development of a good handwriting pattern. This is also why ABC Trace and Say uses a basic form of the cursive letter, calling it a simple cursive letter.
