TWICKENHAM, U.K. - July 5, 2015 - PRLog -- TWICKENHAM, England (JULY 2015): Longshot Ventures publishes a wonderful new book “I SPY ABC” for little ones. It features full page colour photos of real world objects that look like letters of the alphabet.  The book is designed to encourage children to look at the world around them and to use their imagination. It encourages discovery and interpretation of the surrounding visual landscape.

The real world is filled with wonderful shapes that can capture a child’s imagination. The book seeks out objects that look like letters e.g. the legs of a park bench that look like an “A” or the branches of a tree that look like a “Y”. The book includes images of all 26 letters of the alphabet made from railings to the mortar in a brick wall to trees to roofs. It challenges children to look at the world differently and to go out and explore and find their own letters. It inspires their imagination and can make walks much more interesting.

“I SPY ABC” is a great resource for teachers and nursery schools to build activities around that connect reading with the real world. It can promote skills such as observation, imagination and teamwork. Supervised groups can go out on a walk with a camera and find as many letters as they can.

The book is perfect for Nursery, Reception and can even be used with Year 1 in project scenarios.

The book is available on Amazon, NotOnTheHighStreet.com and direct from the author.
