n.a
reference to
children's blocks which teach the
basics of the alphabet and
numbers. Small blocks made from wood or
plastic are labeled with letters of the alphabet, A, B, C and so on through Z and are used to teach a child the alphabet. In addition to letters the blocks often have
numbers or
pictures so the child can also learn
numbers and how to
count at the same
time. The
term ABCs refers to the
basic skill of spelling, reading and writing or, by extension, the elementary facts or principles of any
subject.
