Inhaltsangabe

Before children learn the sounds letters make, they first need to recognize and connect with the letters themselves.

Many children can proudly sing the ABC song long before they truly recognize each individual letter. Sailing the ABCs bridges that important early learning step by bringing letters to life as memorable characters-new alpha-besties children can meet, follow, and befriend on a whimsical nautical adventure.

Join ABC, DEF, and their alphabet friends as they sail the alphabet seas aboard a wondrous origami boat!

ABC

sail out to sea

in a boat so grand

to a distant land.

Through lyrical rhyming verse and captivating watercolor illustrations, each letter becomes a distinct personality within small, easy-to-remember clusters. Young readers are invited to recognize their new letter friends while following them through a playful journey filled with discovery, imagination, and wonder.

Explore a tropical island where the alpha-besties discover majestic waterfalls, animal shapes hidden in fluffy clouds, crashing waves inside seashells, and sandy shores. Along the way, children can search for delightful visual surprises woven throughout the story while enjoying a rhythmic read-aloud experience.

Created by Ophra Ashur, a child therapist, educator, and lifelong facilitator of "Aha!" moments, Sailing the ABCs gently supports the earliest stage of literacy by helping children build joyful connections with letters before making the important connection between letters and their sounds.

The adventure continues beyond the story with interactive activities, including a letter color key, a Can U C visual discovery challenge, and instructions for folding an origami sailboat.

More than an alphabet book, Sailing the ABCs invites children to meet the letters they will one day read-one alpha-bestie, one discovery, and one little "Aha!" moment at a time.

Get ready to set sail!

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ophra Ashur lives to hear the words, "Aha, I get it!" A Licensed Clinical Social Worker, child therapist, and educator, she loves to accompany learners of all ages through journeys of discovery and understanding. While reading to her book-hungry granddaughter, Ophra noticed that most alphabet books pair letters with objects that represent their phonetic sounds (e.g., A = Apple). Few books introduce the letters first as independent characters. Also, when children learn their ABCs through the traditional song, the letters blend unrecognizably together (For example, "elemenopee.") Sailing the ABCs aims to enhance the initial stage of learning the alphabet by grouping its letters into novel, easy-to-remember trios and duos. It is Ophra's dream to spark hundreds of little "Aha's" as young pre-readers recognize and befriend their new, uniquely distinct alpha-besties. Fun facts: After growing up as a committed non-athlete, Ophra went on to complete two marathons and has become an avid road cyclist. Her special talent is the ability to wiggle her ears without touching them!
