Wright's class is through with silent letters. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Silent Letters Loud and Clear by Robin Pulver: 9780823423095 : Books Mr. This topic could have easily resulted in a didactic lesson, but the story line and examples of silent letters or letter pairs appearing in everyday words lighten the presentation.- Lynne Mattern, Robert Seaman School, Jericho, NYĬopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. The acrylic cartoon art floats in mid-air against a vivid blue background, yet the usage depicted in each example is clearly matched with the speech each letter is trying to make. The editors of the newspaper respond with an editorial criticizing the children's "poor" spelling, whereupon the letters reappear to convince the youngsters of their importance and that practice will make the children better spellers.

"Rit's" students see the error of their ways and realize silent letters are "mighty fine," not "mity fin." Pulver's latest grammar lesson (Holiday House, 2008) can be a fun accompaniment to what could otherwise be a pedantic word study. Overhearing the complaints and feeling wretched, the silent letters sneak out of the email, leaving it nonsensical and riddled with embarrassing spelling mistakes. "We can't hear them, so who needs them? They should be banned!" proclaim the students in an email to the newspaper.
