Sunshine's Alphabet was created to meet the ever increasing need to support all children, families and classrooms with materials which honor and enrich teaching and learning through inclusivity. Sunshine, who is the main character, is a six year old fun loving girl who is deaf. She tells her story of friends, family and adventures while teaching the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet as well as printed alphabet. Children learn best when provided choices that meet their unique learning styles. Weather a child is visual, auditory, kinesthetic or learns best through reading and writing Sunshine's Alphabet offers the best match for the child. Included in the story are suggested activities to challenge and reinforce learning and motivate and inspire teaching for all children and families. The story gives everyone the opportunity to learn and teach someone else how to communicate verbally as well as nonverbally as they learn to spell words on their hands. Happy finger spelling and congratulations for venturing to learn "Sunshine's Alphabet".
