Throughout the world children begin to learn English at a wide range of ages. Some start at age 3 while others are much older, some need to learn the English alphabet and others are familiar with it. This textbook was designed for young children who are new to the alphabet. If an alphabet book for older children is required you can download one at: Successful ESL - http://www.esl-curriculum.ca/ This book of 29 pages and 14 lessons introduces the children to printing between lines as each new letter is presented. The book is designed to provide the teacher with independent work for the students. Once the pages have been introduced the teacher has time to move about the room to help individuals or deal with other classroom needs. Students write, draw and color in the book.
