| Win a signed copy of the book Circus Vowels: The Long and the Short of It |
The book has a simple, engaging story, but what I especially liked was that I can help my children remember how vowels might sound, by remembering the story. It has proven as helpful to my kindergarten student that is just beginning to read, as it has to my second grader who still struggles to remember grammar rules. I also appreciated that the back of the book includes several pages of simple activities to re-enforce what was just read and learned about.
"A, E, I, O and U are very confusing letters, which we call vowels. Sometimes they yell their own names, sometimes they say their very quiet sounds, and sometimes they don't say anything at all!"The book is probably best for children in pre-school through second grade as they are learning to read. It also makes a wonderful tool to help young developing readers to remember the grammar rules.
So grandma or grandpa, moms and dads, be sure to get your own copy of Circus Vowels:The Long and the Short of It for your home library, or considering buying and donating a copy to your child's favorite teacher or the school library. It would make an excellent book to have in your library "learning toolbox"! You can buy Circus Vowels: The Long and the Short of It

Can't say I ever really gave a thought to a favorite vowel sound. I guess the short a since it appears twice in my name.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat concept for a book! I have a kindergartener who has finally grasped the vowel sounds and a preschooler who is just starting to read and this book would be a great tool! I haven't really given much thought to my favorite vowel sound but I guess it would the the short "a" sound since this is one of the first sounds young babies and children start to make.
ReplyDeleteI also have 2 little ones on the verge of reading. Thanks for the chance to win. I guess my favorite vowel sound is "oo", but I'm not sure if that one is in the book. :)

Greetings! Do you own any journalism skills or this is a natural gift of yours? Can't wait to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteI grew up writing, wrote for the school paper in high school and took some journalism courses in college. Blogging is simply an extension of being a creative individual. As for natural gifts I'd love to think so, however I write really what I like - Thanks for your comment!
