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