Lynn Rowe Reed illustrates Silent Letters Loud and Clear, a grammar book for new and experienced spellers who struggle with the concept of silent letters. Each letter receives a bright fun illustration and clear explanation in this easy and entertaining reader.

Great example of how learning can be fun.

My daughter gets a good chuckle from this book and quickly grasped the concept of how silent letters impact the pronunciation and spelling of a word. As an added bonus, the teacher in the book tells the children it's hard to learn about silent letters and mistakes are to be expected. It is very encouraging. This book should be a staple in the elementary school classroom.

A Fun Way to Teach Silent Letters

A fun book about teaching silent letters. The kids in Mr. Wright's class are at it again. They get tired of silent letters and write to the local newspaper decrying their use. The paper prints the letter minus silent letters and a firestorm develops. People have trouble reading the letter, and people begin complaining about the quality of the school and Mr. Wright's teaching ability. It all turns out alright in the end.
