My favorite books to teach the letter D

Reading great literature in the classroom is a must! There is really no better way to make connections, build background knowledge, and teach important skills. My favorite way to introduce letter sounds is through literature. Here is a list of my very favorite books to use to teach the letter D! 

Duck on a Bike by David Shannon
This is a fun story that allows students to chime in on the repeated phrases and is a great opportunity to teach prediction. The illustrations are amazing and David Shannon is one of my favorite illustrators so I always add his books to my lists! 


 

Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Ruben
Who doesn't love tacos? This book is fun and silly but also has some great opportunities to talk about likes and dislikes (another D word!) It is fun to take a poll before you read asking students if they like tacos, or dislike tacos. You can also compare and contrast to the story Dragons Eat Noodles on Tuesdays by Jon Stahl. Both fun books!




Dinosaurs Love Underpants by Claire Freedman
I taught kindergarten with a friend who LOVED books about underpants. They just made her giggle. Dino's wearing underpants is a great one and all of the underpants books are great when you go to introduce the letter U. This book has great rhyme and students love finishing all the funny sentences.




Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
I love including a classic on a book list and this one takes the cake! Make way for ducklings is a sweet story about a little family of ducks. If you didn't know, there are little bronze statues in Boston Public Garden that pay tribute to Robert McCloskey. I was bummed when I visited and didn't get to visit the park. Next time!




Arnie the Doughnut by Laurie Keller (this is on Storyline Online)
If you haven't used Storyline Online before, this is a great book to give it a try. I've shared the link HERE. Arnie is a donut that takes matters into his own hands to save himself from being eaten. A fun story that is sure to spark a lot of conversation in class! 




If you Give a Dog a Donut by Laura Numeroff
Laura Numeroff's circular plot books are always a hit. I love to have students guess what is going to happen next with every turn of the page. They are great for this! This book is fun to point out all of the letter D words as you move through the story. 




Duck at the Door by Jackie Urbanovic
This book is about a duck that doesn't fly south for the winter because he thinks he will like it. Turns out he doesn't like the cold so he has to go knocking on a door in the middle of the night. Let's just say that he doesn't end up being the perfect house guest but the family learns to love him and even miss him when spring comes again. I love a story that focuses not only on the letter we are introducing but caring and kindness as well! 




Those are just a few of my favorites. What are your favorite books to celebrate the letter D? If you are looking for ideas to help teach the letter D I have easy to follow lesson plans here. Seriously a whole week of phonemic awareness lessons, reading, writing, science, math, and more! Check them out HERE.

  2. I Lost $213,000 Worth of ARB Tokens After Falling victim to an Address-Poisoning Scam

    My name is Patrick Cox, and my ARB tokens worth $213,000 were wiped out in a single transaction by an Address-Poisoning Scam, and this is how I was able to recover it.
    I have been into crypto for over 9 years and I have never been reckless or naive when it deals with crypto, however, I was caught off guard by an address-poisoning scam while I was trying to make a single transaction to my other wallet and it took the services of Morphohack Cyber Service to be able to recover it successfully.
    Morphohack was able to detect the scammer had distributed the stolen ARB tokens into smaller wallets, but it took Morphohack just 72 hours to fully recover every single one of the stolen tokens successfully. This just shows the rise of address spoofing and poisoning that has continued to exploit traders' negligence during transactions. I highly urge everyone to be more cautious and avoid falling victim to such scams and if you do need the service of Morphohack, you can easily reach them via the following:E-mail: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM WhatsApp: +1 (213) 672 4092

  3. Greetings, my name is Cohen Green, and I am based in San Francisco, California, where I work within the real estate sector. Two months prior, I incurred a significant financial setback, losing $1.2 million in Bitcoin and USDT, owing to a fraudulent investment firm. The incident began when I received an enticing proposal from an organization called CANCAP, promising high returns and showcasing verified investor profits, which led me to invest the entire amount.
    I initially encountered relentless demands for additional payments when attempting to withdraw funds. Shortly thereafter, their website vanished, and every attempt to contact them proved fruitless. I was left in shock, my hope of recovering the money dwindling. Despite my efforts with authorities, these fraudsters remained elusive. Approximately one month after the incident, while researching online, I discovered an article about MORPHOHACK CYBER SERVICE, a firm renowned for its expertise in crypto recovery. I reached out to them and was astonished by the efficiency and professionalism of their team. Employing sophisticated software tools, they managed to recover $816,000 from the total amount in under 72 hours, even months after the scam occurred. I remain profoundly grateful for their assistance and am still in awe of their capabilities.

  4. As an accountant, I'm typically cautious with my finances. However, last year, I felt pressure to join the cryptocurrency market, fearing I'd miss out on potential gains. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention, with its professional website, real-time charts, and promising testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the platform, offering a $200 welcome bonus. Convinced by their promises, I invested $87,000 worth of Bitcoins.
    But when CBEX's website crashed, and all communication channels were severed, I realized I had been scammed. Devastated and lost, I searched for ways to recover my funds. That's when I discovered Morphohack, a reputable crypto recovery service. Their expertise and track record gave me hope.

    Morphohack's team worked diligently to track down my stolen bitcoins and successfully recovered it from the CBEX scam. I'm grateful for their exceptional service and expertise. Thanks to Morphohack, I was able to recover my losses. If you've fallen victim to a CBEX/PCEX Scam, I highly recommend Morphohack's services.

  5. RECOVER STOLEN CRYPTO FUNDS THROUGH CYBER ASSETS WIZARD RECOVERY.

    Hello, everyone here. I am here to give a testimonial on how I met one of the best Hackers so far in my incredible moment of pain. I was taken advantage of by a fake cryptocurrency investment company pretending to help people double their investments. I lost a huge amount of money to a fake investment company. I invested 108,000 USD in this investment company with the belief that I will have a huge return when it was time for me to get my return. The company no longer takes my calls or replies to my email. I was so devastated. I was told Bitcoin is impossible to trace once you lose it but after coming across a post about SILENT QUANTA HACKERS, a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company. I contacted them immediately and was able to recover everything I lost. I’m sharing this with anyone who might need their services. You can contact them via…

  6. I’ve always believed I had a good head for business. My wife, Tina, and I built a successful company in the Netherlands over two decades. By the end of 2024, we were ready to slow down—early retirement, smarter investments, and time to enjoy life.
    That nearly vanished in a single mistake.
    We had been watching the crypto space for years. In early 2025, we decided to invest—nothing risky, just to diversify. A platform came highly recommended. It looked legitimate, had strong performance claims, and offered dedicated support. After two weeks of research and discussions, we invested €150,000 in Bitcoin.

    At first, everything seemed fine. The dashboard showed gains. We received regular updates from a personal manager. Then came requests: first a “security verification fee,” then a “tax clearance.” Before we knew it, the dashboard froze and support disappeared. The silence was devastating. We felt foolish. We were cautious people—how did we fall for this?

    Late one night, I came across a thread mentioning Morphohack Cyber Service. No big promises, just quiet testimonials. Tina reached out. They responded within hours, requesting every bit of information. Their cyber team traced the funds using blockchain analytics and digital forensics. In less than 48 hours, we got a message: “Recovery in process. Funds secure.”

    We checked our cold wallet. €148,000 had been recovered. Morphohack didn’t just get our money back, they restored our peace of mind. Since then, we’ve shared our story to help others. Scams don’t just take money, they steal your trust. But recovery is possible. Morphohack can be reached via E-mail: Morphohack@cyberservices.com

  7. I never thought I’d see my $72,000 in Bitcoin again after falling victim to a shady crypto exchange. The site vanished overnight, and my attempts to contact support were in vain. Feeling helpless, I stumbled upon Morphohack Cyber. Initially skeptical, I decided to give them a shot, and I’m so glad I did.
    Morphohack Cyber specializes in recovering lost or stolen crypto using advanced blockchain analysis. Their team was quick to reassure me and get to work. In just a few weeks, they tracked down and recovered my funds! They kept me updated every step of the way, showing professionalism and dedication throughout.
    Thanks to Morphohack Cyber, my $72,000 was back where it belonged. If you’re in a similar situation, I highly recommend them, they’re the real deal when it comes to recovering your crypto. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them at Morphohack@cyberservices.com.

  9. My Bitcoin Scam Experience
    Testimony by Dr. [Jennifer byner]

    I recently lost around $58,000 to a fake cryptocurrency trading platform that promised 15% daily returns. It appeared legitimate at first, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, everything was blocked — and I realized I’d been scammed. As a medical professional, the financial and emotional impact was significant. Out of desperation, I looked into crypto recovery services. While some claimed they could help,Just when I had lost all hope, I found JetWebHackers. I was terrified of being tricked again, but I was desperate. Reaching out to them was the best decision I ever made.
    In an unbelievable 72 hours, they performed a miracle. They recovered every single dollar that was stolen from me. Seeing that money back wasn’t just a relief; it felt like I could breathe again. They didn’t just restore my funds; they restored my future.

  11. Title: From Despair to Hope — How I Recovered $255,000 Lost to a Forex Scam

    Earlier this year, I made what I thought was a smart financial move — investing $3,500 into an online forex trading platform that appeared highly professional and convincing. At first, everything seemed perfect. My initial deposit started growing rapidly. I watched my account balance rise to an incredible $155,000 in what felt like no time.

    Excited by the apparent success, I decided to trust the process and added more funds. As time passed, I invested an additional $100,000, encouraged by what seemed to be a thriving portfolio. However, the moment I tried to withdraw my profits, things began to unravel.

    The platform stalled my withdrawal attempts with vague excuses and eventually demanded more payments — so-called "processing fees" and "security clearances." That was when the harsh reality hit me: I had fallen victim to a meticulously orchestrated scam.

    The pain of losing over $250,000 was unbearable. Sleepless nights, overwhelming regret, and a deep sense of betrayal followed. I was ashamed to speak about it, thinking no one could help. But fate had one more surprise in store — and this time, it was a good one.

    During a desperate online search for recovery options, I came across Cloudstrike Cyber Security. Skeptical but with nothing left to lose, I reached out to them via their contact email: [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]

    From the very first interaction, they were professional, empathetic, and direct. They listened to my story, analyzed the platform I had been scammed by, and explained the recovery process step-by-step. I was shocked by how much they already knew about these types of fraud rings. Over the course of several weeks, they worked tirelessly — tracking digital footprints, leveraging blockchain forensics, and using advanced cyber investigation tools.

    Against all odds, Cloudstrike Cyber Security recovered 95% of my lost funds. That’s right — they brought back over $240,000 that I thought was gone forever.

    To anyone out there going through something similar: you are not alone. Scammers are getting smarter, but so are the people fighting them. I highly recommend Cloudstrike Cyber Security to anyone who has been a victim of a crypto or forex scam. They gave me back not just my money, but my peace of mind.
