Parents, teachers, and caregivers looking for a fun, educational resource for young students can now turn to Stephen L. Pederson’s latest interactive children’s book, “Animated ABC’s – Coloring Book & Letter Printing Practice for Early Primaries.” This wonderful coloring book, specifically intended for early primary pupils, mixes inventive letter-shaped characters with crucial letter-printing practice to make learning the alphabet a fun experience.

“Animated ABC’s – Coloring Book & Letter Printing Practice for Early Primaries” brings the alphabet to life with creative, cartoon-like letters that inspire children to explore language while having fun. Each page features a large animated letter, paired with a playful name like “April Angel” or “Catcher Cindy,” encouraging children to not only color but also learn the shape and sound of each letter.

One unique feature of this book is its emphasis on letter formation and printing practice. Children can trace and write both upper and lower case letters on a reproducible template included with each page, promoting early literacy skills. As they color their way through the alphabet, young readers will be introduced to new words and sounds, such as the hard and soft C’s and G’s found in “Catcher Cindy” and “Giggling Gina.”

The book celebrates diversity by featuring male and female characters from various racial backgrounds, presented in a way that avoids stereotypes or demeaning features. For example, “Catcher Cindy” is a female baseball catcher, demonstrating that all children can relate to and learn from these delightful animated characters.

“Animated ABC’s” is ideal for both home and classroom use. Children who are learning to read will naturally get curious about the names of each silly-looking letter, creating an excellent chance for parents and guardians to participate in the learning process. Families may improve their children’s reading skills while also spending quality time together by exploring these characters.

The book is also an excellent tool for kindergarten teachers or daycare providers, offering children a break from gadgets and technology while promoting creativity and literacy. Kids can proudly display their finished coloring pages using a flat-bed scanner or printer, allowing families to showcase their hard work.

Perfectly suited for early readers, kindergarteners, and older daycare children, “Animated ABC’s” helps develop important foundational skills in a fun and engaging way. It encourages children to take pride in their learning, helping them build confidence in letter recognition, word sounds, and handwriting.

Parents and teachers alike will find this book an invaluable tool to support early literacy and creativity.

While teaching, Steve was continually designing creative lesson plans and art projects, where his interests in art, writing and educational design coalesced. “If I had to do it over, I’d prefer to have pursued a Curriculum Design path, but for some creative people, like myself, it took years to find and develop my interdisciplinary niche.”

After leaving full-time teaching, Steve tutored part-time in low-income after school programs. He’s continued to pursue his ’other passion’ to design creative children’s educational materials, using computer graphics, writing skills and educational experiences.
