      ‘My Spelling Isn’t That Great’: Michael Morpurgo On Why Teaching Kids To Love Writing Is More Important Than Grammar

      May 18, 2022

      I didn’t love reading at all when I was young. As a teacher, I loved it, and now as a reader, I love it. But I was put off the whole idea of words very early on. Some years ago, I was made to do a key stage 2 (seven to 11 years old) English test. I d

      Ideas To Help Polish Your Writing

      For many people, ‘Give me a vowel’ will bring up an instant reference to the TV programme Countdown. In the context of the game show, vowels and consonants were linked to letters of the alphabet, with A-E-I-O-U being vowels and the other 21 letters c

      How to Create Stories That Children Can Actually Read

      Oct 9, 2023

      If I learned one thing as a young writer, it was that kids can read a book as long as it uses short words. It’s what I was taught by more seasoned editors and what I have applied to the hundreds of early reader books I’ve written and edited over the

      Cute book for showing short vowel sounds, sidebars indicate what word has the short vowel sound on each page. Colorful.
    • 4/5
      Stop, Drop, and Flop in the Slop“Stop, Drop, and Flop in the Slop” by Brian P. Cleary is a great book to use for word families. Each page has the words on the left and then a fun illustration filling the rest of the page. The illustrations are cartoon like and age appropriate for beginning readers to enjoy. There is very little text other than the words contained in the word family. For example for the word family “ump”, “The stump and the lump are by the plump grump”. All the big words are from the “ump” word family and the filler words are site words! This book is great to have to practice reading, while enjoying brief stories on each page. My only complaint about this book is when it uses the word family “ass”. My stepson picked up on this “bad word” immediately and he lost concentration and it created a complete side conversation. Although this is a word family, I’m not sure why the author would include “ass” in the book. Even after finishing the book, it was brought up several more times that evening. The big idea of this book is to practice word families while providing enjoyable reading.
