Frequently Asked Questions

A zebra, a zipper and a zigzag put Z to work. Your child traces uppercase Z and lowercase z (the same shape in two sizes), then hunts for every Z and z in a letter box. On the beginning sounds page they say each picture name and circle the first letter, and on "Z is for zebra" they name pictures and trace Zz. The zebra appears again in kindergarten on a letter recognition page, with a Z tracing page beside it, and 1st grade has a word search. Mixed-letter pages and a cursive Z for later on finish the set. Answer keys are included for several pages. A buzzing /z/ is a nice last sound for the alphabet.
