If You Were a ______ (Part of Speech)
These books are in a storybook format with full-color pages and cute animal graphics. Though they read like stories, they are actually packed with different parts of speech. The featured part of speech is highlighted or bolded whenever it is used in the book, which reinforces learning. Additional rules about that part of speech are also included in the story. For example, some lines from the verb book are: "If you were a verb you could swim, tiptoe, leap, paddle, travel, cartwheel, or plunge." ... "If you were a verb, you would change when the number of people or things change. One acrobat swings above the crowd, but five acrobats swing above the crowd." Colorful graphics illustrate the stories, which really are fun to read. A great way to introduce parts of speech to your children and a handy tool for making them remember. Each book 24 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
