With a twist on traditional alphabet books, this piece looks at beginning alphabet blends and digraphs through silly and catchy stories! Kids will love the tongue twisters while repeatedly hearing how letter sounds work together.

Get Your Mouth Ready for a Treasury of Small Stories
Get Your Mouth Ready for a Treasury of Small Stories is a unique alphabet book that stresses beginning alphabet blends and digraphs rather than single-letter alphabet sounds. It is a unique spin on the traditional alphabet books. This book is a collection of small stories that reinforce a variety of beginning sounds with two letters working together to form one sound.
