I love this poster!  What a fun game to play around the house or on your next road trip.  Do you see letters hiding all around you?  Does that window pane look like an H?  Does that car tire remind you of an O?  Hey, that candycane looks just like a J!  Find letters in the world around you and then talk about what sounds they make.  I like taking pictures of them and then trying to spell words!  Can you read what word I found?  Have a good day everybody!
