Let’s read books that start with the letter L! Part of a good Letter L lesson plan will include reading. A Letter L Book List is an essential part of your preschool curriculum whether that is in the classroom or at home. In learning the letter L, your child will master letter L recognition which can be accelerated through reading books with the letter L.
Preschool Letter Books For the Letter L
There are so many fun letter books for preschool age kids. They tell the letter L story with bright illustrations and compelling plot lines. These books work great for letter of the day reading, book week ideas for preschool, letter recognition practice or just sitting down and reading!

LETTER L BOOKS TO TEACH THE LETTER L
Whether it be phonics, morals, or math, each of these books goes above and beyond teaching the letter L! Check out some of my favorites.
1. Llama Llama Trick or Treat
–>Buy book here
In Llama Llama Trick or Treat, little llama finds the perfect costume, picks out a pumpkin for a jack-o’-lantern, and then goes trick-or-treating with Mama and his friends! With short and simple rhyming text, the Llama Llama board books introduce Llama Llama to babies and toddlers before they’re ready for longer full-length stories. And their small size and durable pages are perfect for little hands.
2. Are You A Ladybug?

From egg, to winged beauty! This beautiful story book is a great educational resource beyond featuring the letter L. This book was especially helpful when my youngest was afraid of ladybugs, when she was 3!
3. Listening to My Body

Leonard doesn’t like bedtime, especially when there’s a five-nosed, seven-tailed, eleven-handed, scaly-waily monster hiding in the corner of his bedroom. It seems like Leonard (and his parents) will never sleep again… until he discovers a mysterious book called How to Frighten Monsters.
5. Little Bear Needs Glasses

Little Owl and Big Owl are cuddled up at bedtime. Big Owl reminds Little Owl about all the special times they’ve had together and all the exciting adventures the future holds.
