C is for Chi!: An Alphabet Book about Nigeria

Author: IJ Weir

Celebrating culture, delicious foods, and fascinating places, C is for Chi! takes readers on a charming journey through all the delights of Nigeria. From Aso to Zobo, this unique alphabet book offers a variety of topics to explore again and again.

A note to caregivers, parents, teachers, and educators: C is for Chi! is rooted in science to teach young children to read. The alphabet book promotes:

• print awareness (squiggly lines on a page represent spoken language)
• phonological awareness (recognize and manipulate the spoken parts of sentences and words)
• phonemic awareness (ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words
• phonics (letter-sound relationship)
• collaborative reading (an adult reading with a child encourages explanations of words and meanings, adding to the child's background knowledge)
