No, Silly-Willy - Paperback

by Caroline J. Clarke Connelly (Author)

This book instantly engages children by having her colorful characters ask humorous questions. The metered, rhyming text encourages children to read along, repeating the questions and answers. The format also supports the development of inferencing and prediction skills and the use of expanded sentence forms, while also providing parents, teachers, and speech-language pathologists the opportunity to increase children's proficiency in asking and answering questions, rhyming, sequencing skills, verb tenses (regular past and irregular past tense verb forms), vocabulary, categorization skills, and color and spatial concepts. No, Silly-Willy's surprising text and satisfying ending prompts "read it again" requests and lots of giggles. The book provides a fun initial experience that can lead to a lifetime of reading. An MP3 digital download of the song "No, Silly-Willy" is also available as a perfect addition to the No, Silly-Willy book. Children will love hearing this catchy melody and singing the lyrics.
