best preschool books for the letter Ff

Here is our list of the best preschool books for the letter Ff!  Reading opens a world of imagination and creativity for our children. If I read to each of my children each day, both together and individually, than the day is a success!

One of the main reasons why we do a letter of the week style preschool at home is to encourage me to continue to read new books, do new activities, introduce new vocabulary. For our letter of the week, I will usually find a small stack of books and read them at breakfast time and try to emphasize the “Ff” at the beginning of words. We cycle through the small stack throughout the week during meal or other quiet times in the day. This is a fun way to read new books and reinforce some beginning sound phonics work.

Reading benefits a child’s mind, a child’s speech, a child’s life. You can read more about why reading is one of the most important things you can do with your baby or child at 10 reasons to read to your child.

I am making a preschool list for all of our favorite books from A to Z. And here is our preschool book list for the Letter Ff!! {You can see a detailed explanation for our preschool plans here : next round of the alphabet, for our preschool.}

The series also includes Frog and Toad All Year, Frog and Toad Together, and Days with Frog and Toad.
