This book focuses on teaching children about the alphabet. They do this by having lower case and upper case letters helping each other out. The leveling system is The Lexile, reading level AD530L. Students will be assigned a letter and they have to come up with as many words as they can in a certain amount of time.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. is a book about the letters in the alphabet racing each other up the coconut tree. This is a great novel for preschoolers and kindergarten.

Classroom Activities: One of my favorite activities to use alongside Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: Matching Upper and Lowercase Letters together (https://jugglingwithkids.com/2013/09/chika-chika-boom-boom-alphabet-matching.html)

This is such a classic book among the lower grade levels. This book is about the different letters racing to get to the top of a coconut tree. This teaches students rhyming, letters, and visuals of how letters look.

Lexile: AD530L

This book is a great tool for students who are learning their colors! Its a childhood classic that we have almost all read at some point. There are several resources for this book online as well as you tube videos that have sing along songs with it. In my opinion this book would be fantastic for pre-school through kindergarten aged children, or any older children who still struggle with their colors or need to still read books with pictures for clues. 

Lexile AD200L 

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, is another children's book classic. It is a rhythmic and rhyming tale that features the 26 letters of the alphabet.  I would use this book for younger grades when learning about the alphabet. I think that every teacher should have this book in their classroom as it can be incorporated into lessons in various ways. (Book Reading Level: Lexile 530L)
