Phonics Adventures: Finding Our Wordly Place: English Word Endings - Paperback

by Megan Minor (Author), Ashriel Reinoso (Author)

In the enchanting world of Alphabetia, letters I, V, J, and U embark on a quest to understand their own rule: no English words can end with them. Journeying through the lands of Language, they seek wisdom from the Grammarian atop Grammar Mountain, who enlightens them about the Phonics Law. This law states that English words that typically conclude with the sounds represented by I, V, J, or U are replaced with other letters or a silent -e! Armed with this knowledge, the letters return enlightened, embracing their essential role in word creation, even if they can't conclude words themselves.
