Let’s read books that start with the letter L! Part of a good lesson plan for the letter L will involve reading. A book list of the letter L is an essential part of your preschool curriculum, whether in the classroom or at home. In learning the letter L, your child will master the recognition of the letter L, which can be accelerated by reading books with the letter L.

LETTER L BOOKS TO TEACH THE LETTER L
Whether it’s phonetics, morals, or math, each of these books goes beyond just teaching the letter L! Check out some of my favorites.
1. Llama Llama Trick or Treat

In Llama Llama Trick or treat, little llama finds the perfect costume, chooses a pumpkin for a jack-o’-lantern, then goes trick-or-treating with mommy and his friends!

And their small size and durable sides are perfect for little hands.
