Description
Miranda's Alphabet uses a unique system to teach pre-schoolers the letters of the alphabet. Central to the idea are the simple graphics, which transform each letter into a picture of its own sound, helping the child "see" the sound in the shape of the letter. No other children's alphabet system marries the shape of the letter with its sound. In other alphabets the connection is random and thus confusing for children. In Miranda's Alphabet the connection between shape and sound is direct and clear. Miranda's Alphabet allows each letter to remain in the child's mind as a picture of itself.
