LETTER Z BOOKS TO TEACH THE LETTER Z

Whether it be phonics, morals, or math, each of these books goes above and beyond teaching the letter Z! Check out some of my favorites

1. Every So Often A Zebra Has Spots

–>Buy book here

Every So Often A Zebra Has Spots is a book that will have you and your children talking! It will inspire conversations about differences and how beautiful it is to be true to yourself. It will make you laugh and will definitely become your child’s new favorite book. And the best part is that they will not even know that they are learning lifelong lessons about acceptance and kindness for all.

3. Put Me in the Zoo

Spot longs to be in the zoo with all the other animals, but the zoo doesn’t want him! In this beloved Beginner Book edited by Dr. Seuss, Spot shows a young boy and girl all the exciting things he can do with his spots—from changing their color and juggling them, to moving them onto different objects! Beginning readers will be delighted by this lively, rhymed story that not only teaches about colors, but proves there is a special spot for everyone, including Spot. 

4. Zero the Hero

–>Buy book here

Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. That’s what all the other numbers think of Zero. He doesn’t add anything in addition. He’s of no use in division. And don’t even ask what he does in multiplication. But Zero knows he’s worth a lot, and when the other numbers get into trouble, he swoops in to prove that his talents are innumerable. This book teaches basic math, and the letter Z

5. Z Is for Moose

–>Buy book here

Zebra thinks the alphabet should be simple. A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Easy! But his friend Moose is too excited to wait his turn, and when M isn’t for Moose (Mouse gets the honor), the rest of the letters better run for cover.

7. On Beyond Zebra!

–>Buy book here

If you think the alphabet stops with Z, you are wrong. So wrong. This rhyming picture book introduces twenty new letters and the creatures that one can spell with them. Discover (and spell) such wonderfully Seussian creations as the Yuzz-a-ma-Tuzz and the High Gargel-orum. Readers young and old will be giggling from beginning to end . . . or should we say, from Yuzz to Hi!
