Children need to learn letters and their sounds in order to learn how to read. The Montessorian in me will point out that it is more important that children learn the phonetic sounds before the letters, to avoid confusion. (How many children can identify the letter "c" but always say its sound is /s/?) These children's e-books for the Kindle are free today. Some may stay free for a limited time; others are perpetually free. Be sure to check the "Buy" price and not the "Prime" price before you click on the purchase button, to verify how much it is.
Don't have a Kindle? No worries. Download a free Kindle reading app for your smartphone, tablet or computer. Or, get your own Kindle Fire for maximized children's e-book reading.
Funky Flowers 4-in-1
The
Funky Flowers 4-in-1 set of first e-books by author Funky Flowers includes two alphabet books, as well as one on counting and shapes. The two alphabet books are divided by lowercase and upper case. Supposedly they do work on a regular Kindle, but obviously the hand-illustrated pictures are optimized for a color screen.

I have not yet personally read any of these books, so I do not yet have any reviews. I did download all of them, though, to take advantage of their free status. Which ones did you choose? What did you think of them?
