Description
Learning Language through Alliteration! The letters “ABC” are used in many children book titles. There are no children’s books that use the same letter of the alphabet for each word in the sentence using the same sentence format (proper noun, adverb, verb, adjective, noun). This book will fill that gap!
- Putting a new twist on an alphabet book, this children’s publication rolls silly alliteration, linguistics, and vivid illustrations all into one.
- Early readers can find parts of speech to be difficult. This book follows the same sentence structure for every letter of the alphabet (think back to diagraming a sentence) to make this easier.
- Every sentence has the following format: Proper noun, adverb, adjective, verb, noun. With each sentence designed to be fun to read out loud. As a child uses structural rules in language the more “mental grammar” they retain.
- The book has a “how to use this book” section in the front and a glossary in the back. Teacher and parent learning aids are also be available.
- The characters are diverse in culture and gender which allow for personal connections. The quirky alliteration, the visual stimulation, and the sound of words will make this a go-to read for children.
