The literary technique model is onomayope, a word when red is actually pronounced like it sounds, splash, crotch, chop, etc. Excellent book for modeling the meaning and use of onomiyappeia as a writing technique to use an expressive composition writer in grades beginning, like I would say, late first grade to second grade through college, cross curriculum themes in social studies and science, babies and their mothers, harvest time, canning time, hibernation and so forth. My littlest Granberry boy loves this book

Hi there, Cheryl. It's jack here. I just wanted to jump on and let you know how much I enjoy listening to your voice. It's just very soothing and I really appreciate what you're all about with just encouraging reading, especially monkeys for youth. And reading was a big part of my life growing up as a child. My mother and certainly my grandparents and my grandmother encouraged it. But I was very lucky to have my Godmother

So then it became my premise to merge learning to read with learning to love books. To that end well, maybe I should say concluding I needed to merge learning to read with learning to love books. Yet I wanted to keep it fun and simple and light

It's just a cute thing to see when they're like, oh, saying the words, but then they're not really reading. They're just saying it because they know the story so well, because their family members read it to them so many times. But even that itself going along with it, they're a young child, gives them that confidence of, yes, I'm learning, and sometimes it's a bit of a hand holding experience to help them

And so definitely I'm partial to the English alphabet of the language that I speak. It is the foundation, it is the rudiment of everything we do in the English language. Speaking, pronunciation, reading, spelling, writing. I'm glad to know your experiences with your godmother and mother coincide exactly with what I'm saying when we merge. Learning to read with loving books and learning to read begins foundationally with alphabet
