BumpyBooks is a unique multisensory reading manual for parents (but also useful for teachers) that consolidates all the elements of sight, hearing, movement and touch into one easy, affordable, and fun-to-use book. BumpyBooks teaches children letter recognition, the sound/symbol association that is necessary for reading, how to blend sounds into words, and proper tracing techniques that show children the correct way to form letters when writing. It encourages children to see each letter and feel its shape with their fingers while they say the letter's name and sound. (Co-author Edwards is a licensed Reading Specialist, a member of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners & Educators, and the mother of six children.) Spiral bound: 37 pages.
