Silent Letters Loud and Clear by Robin Pulver

That is true for the Feeling for Little Children books. Often children’s books, especially books for infants and toddlers, have rhymes and repetition. There are four books in the series about when they are happy, mad, shy and silly. Elizabeth Crary and Shari Steelsmith, along with illustrations by Mits Katayama, created a series for toddlers to help them understand their feelings, Feelings for Little Children. There are varieties of story types with many helping parents teach lessons or approach concerns in a fun way. This little amount of time starts a child toward a life of reading, writing and communication everyday. Reading to a child from birth, even for just 15 minutes a day, helps develop an interest in reading.

Parents, caregivers and anyone with children in their lives have been told reading to children is important. Silent Letters Loud and Clear is a lively and breezy look at learning to spell and learning to make mistakes and move on.īy Elizabeth Crary, Shari Steelsmith, illustrated by Mits Katayamaġ0 pp., ISBN-13: 978-1884734113, 978-1884734137 With expressive faces and colorful, detailed wardrobes, these letters are anything but quiet, making the artwork as engaging as the writing. She used acrylic paint on canvas and a playful eye to give silent letters loud personalities. Lynn Rowe Reed’s bright and colorful artwork is busy and reflects the high-energy of the storytelling. It also makes it easier for kids who want to read the book themselves practice with the silent letters. This makes it really easy for parents to point them out and talk about them with emerging readers. Every word that has silent letters in it has those letters merely outlined in the text, to draw attention to them and to make an example of them in the reading. The story is fast-moving and provides a gentle lesson as well as entertainment.

Robin Pulver’s tone is informative and energetic. The silent letters are, of course, offended and walk out of the email message, forcing the kids to learn the hard way how much those silent letters can say. They fire off a letter to the editor lamenting the fact that they even have to use these silent letters because they make spelling correctly so hard. When he asks the kids to show their appreciation for those letters who work hard and keep quiet, the students rebel. Wright has just finished teaching his students the lesson on silent letters, like those in knee, knuckle, wriggle, and wrinkle. In this grammar book for young emerging readers and spellers, Robin Pulver - already known for her previous grammar books ( Punctuation Takes A Vacation, Nouns and Verbs Have A Field Day) - turns her eye to the challenge of those pesky silent letters, the ones that persistently trip up new readers and spellers.
