Can I use this book
to teach writing?

This book is not only for ESL learners. It also works very well for native English-speaking children who are just beginning to write.

In our own experience working with 5–6-year-olds in preschool, many children were only beginning to recognize letters. Instead of presenting writing as something completely new, it helped to connect it to something they already knew — DRAWING.

We invite children to 'DRAW LETTERS' instead of 'learn to write'.

For example:

• M can look like mountain peaks

• L can look like a leg

• C can hide in the moon

When we build a word like CAN, we say:
“The moon, the leg, and the sawtooth.”

Let the child draw the pictures themselves like in the examples provided. See where the letters hide.

Children quickly connect shapes with letters and start recognizing them naturally.

This approach makes writing feel familiar, playful, and creative instead of difficult or abstract. It lowers resistance and helps children engage more willingly.
