Go to the library and obtain the book Pie by Sarah Weeks.
Join Ms. Mary as she reads aloud, and you follow along in your book!
Pie is a great mystery story. 

Book Summary
When Alice's Aunt Polly dies, she takes the secret to her world-famous pie-crust recipe. Or does she? In her will, Polly leaves the recipe to her extraordinarily surly cat Lardo... and then leaves Lardo in the care of Alice.

Suddenly, Alice is thrust into the center of a pie storm, with everyone in town trying to be the next pie-contest winner... including Alice's mother and some of Alice's friends. The whole community is going pie-crazy... and it's up to Alice to discover the ingredients that matter. Like family. And friendship. And enjoying what you do.

Most parents think children need to learn the letter names. THIS IS ONLY PART OF THE LEARNING.

Children and all students must learn the sounds and CONNECT THE SOUNDS TO PRINT.

This is called PHONEMIC AWARENESS.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with spoken words' individual sounds (phonemes). (Reading Rockets).
