Jolie Canoli Phonics Alphabet


Book Description

Learn phonics with letters that looks like their sounds! Each letter shape looks like the sound that letter says-- and every sound is included! Often alphabet books teach G is for giraffe, but they don't teach G says /g/ like gargle, and G says /j/ like giraffe. This book teaches children all 26 letters, all their consonant sounds, and the soft and long sounds of every vowel. Made especially for visual learners, these letters are colorful, have a memorable and humorous story with plenty of mnemonics and sound repetition to reinforce the sound or multiple sounds each letter makes. Buddy and Pip, a beloved dog and hedgehog, are featured every few pages going on adventures that show children simple 2- or 3-letter words. Use these illustrations to teach your child how letters sound blend to form words. Lastly this book contains tracing practice so the child can practice forming each word with their finger. Great for English language learners and children learning to read, this book will make learning phonics a breeze! Kindergarteners, preschoolers, second-language learners, and their teachers will love Jolie Canoli Phonics.

Jolie Canoli Phonics the Vowels


Book Description

Phonics is the best method for teaching independent, advanced reading, spelling, and language skills. This book teaches all 19 vowel sounds to young learners in a visually memorable method. Using strong visuals, mnemonics, auditory practice, fun rhythm and rhyme, and kinetic learning through tracing, the Vowels will make memorizing the vowels easy and fun. Consistent with methods like Orton-Gillingham, this book teaches all the individual vowel sounds. Jolie Canoli's makes the letters into a visual memory marker, imprinting the sound imagery onto the vowel shape. This allows for children who struggle with abstract black lettering to learn and identify letter form and corresponding sounds with greater ease. Written for second-language English learners, preschoolers, kindergartners, and children learning to read. Recommended for ages 3-8 English speakers, all ages of second-language English students, and for children with dyslexia or learning disabilities.

Shooting at the Stars


Book Description

Shooting at the Stars is the moving story of a young British soldier on the front lines during World War I who experiences an unforgettable Christmas Eve. In a letter to his mother, he describes how, despite fierce fighting earlier from both sides, Allied and German soldiers ceased firing that evening and came together on the battlefield to celebrate the holiday. They sang carols, exchanged gifts, and even lit Christmas trees. But as the holiday came to a close, they returned to their separate trenches to await orders for the war to begin again. Award-wining creator John Hendrix wonderfully brings the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914 to life with his signature style, interweaving detailed illustrations and hand-lettered text. His telling of the story celebrates the humanity that can persist during even the darkest periods of our history.
