Kathy Ross Crafts Letter Sounds

Kathy Ross. Millbrook Press, $8.95 (64pp) ISBN 978-0-7613-1491-2

Kathy Ross, author of Crafts from Your Favorite Children's Songs, here applies craft projects to Letter Sounds and Letter Shapes, both illus. by Jan Barger. Hands-on activities supplement phonics instruction. In the first title, for example, children associate the letter A with its sound using Play-Doh and peppercorns to craft an ""Activity on an Anthill."" The latter suggests making a butterfly magnet out of back-to-back B's. (Mar.)
