Letter K Books for Preschool Picture Books

Sharing is caring!

The king won’t get out of the bathtub! It’s one of my most favorite picture books ever, and it’s also the perfect letter K picture book! Books are one of the best ways to introduce a new letter to your child. As you read the title, point to the word that begins with K and emphasize the K sound. With these Letter K Books for Preschool, you and your child will read together and practice the sound of K.

Did you know that read-aloud time as a child is a key indicator of lifelong success? The positive impacts of reading out loud to your child will stay with them for the rest of their lives!
