Alphabet Workbook in the making

Well, I have been working on a new alphabet book. This book will be a series of printable pages for kids learning the alphabet. Pictures illustrating the letters can be colored and dotted practice lines can be traced.
A sentence showcasing the letter on display is printed on the page as well which can be read aloud. On each page the letter featured is incorporated into the illustration.
I hope this will encourage memory retention of the letter and letter sound. More news on this new book will be released soon.
You can see samples of the Alphabet Pages at:

Newest Edition

Hi Folks!
The newest edition of "The Stinkaroo Dog and the Forbidden Portal" is out. The Stinkaroo Dog & the Forbidden Portal by Lea Beall
I mainly published this book for those people who needed to order the book online as a paperback. My first edition of this book is out of print, though I have some copies of it and the 2nd edition, digital version, is still available.
I did change this book by adding some pawprints to the end pages, but the big change is that is now has a Glossary. The 3 syllable words listed inside the Glossary are printed in BOLD in the text, so kids know immediately that they can look up the definition of the word. As always, 3 syllable words are divided into syllables in the text to encourage, children to sound out the words. I hope these added features will help kids learn and retain new vocabulary. Some fun pages are available on my site and I hope to soon have out a Patches Activity Book as a teaching and learning resource.
