What's So Great About Silent E?
Deanna T. Thompson
Young Sunnie Rae is contemplating what could be so important about using a silent letter E. Sure, E starts words of big things, like elephant, but when it ends words, most of the time it makes now sound at all, so who needs it?
This children's book shows how with the change of just one silent letter, words can drastically change to entirely different words. For example, instead of being cute, you'd be cut. Ouch. That would hurt. Or maybe your robe would rob or Superman would wear a cap instead of a cape. What would be so super about him then? Sunnie Rae realizes in the end how wrong she was to think it unimportant and finishes with "Thank Goodness for Silent E!"
Children and adults alike laugh as they read and see the changes that occur when using, or not using a silent ? All ages enjoy coming up with new words to make changes to.
This is a great addition to any elementary classroom or library. It is extremely helpful for teaching reading skills to student who are learning English as a first or second language.
