Mr. Wright’s class is through with silent letters. The students can’t hear silent letters. They make spelling too tricky. Should silent letters be banned forever? From the creators of Punctuation Takes a Vacation and Nouns and Verbs Have a Field Day comes another dynamic grammar book with which both new and experienced spellers will identify.
* “Pulver and Reed have once again managed to craft a book so clever and fun that both teachers and students alike will be enthralled . . . Knuckle down and purchase this book or teachers will make your lives wretched.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review “The playful design points up the silent letters within the text, and the faux-naive mixed-media illustrations give both human and letter characters lots of personality.”—The Horn Book “Pulver and Rowe tackle another grammar lesson with humorous examples and whimsical illustrations. . . . The acrylic cartoon art floats in mid-air against a vivid blue background, yet the usage depicted in each example is clearly matched with the speech each letter is trying to make. This topic could have easily resulted in a didactic lesson, but the story line and examples of silent letters or letter pairs appearing in everyday words lighten the presentation.”—School Library Journal
