What's So Great About Silent E?

The Thoughts of Sunnie Rae

By: Deanna T. Thompson

Narrated by: Deanna T. Thompson

Young Sunnie Rae is contemplating what could be so important about using a silent letter E. Sure, E starts words of big things, like elephant, but when it ends words, most of the time it makes no sound at all, so who needs it?

This children's book shows how with the change of just one silent letter, words can drastically change to entirely different words. For example, instead of being cute, you'd be cut. Ouch. That would hurt. Or maybe your robe would rob or Superman would wear a cap instead of a cape. What would be so super about him then? Sunnie Rae realizes in the end how wrong she was to think it unimportant and finishes with, "Thank Goodness for Silent E!"

Children and adults alike laugh as they listen and hear the changes that occur when using or not using a silent E. All ages enjoy coming up with new words to make changes to.

This is a great addition to any elementary classroom or library. It is extremely helpful for teaching language skills to student who are learning English as a first or second language.

Funny and clever

This children’s book has made not only the children I’ve read it to laugh, but also the adults in the room. It such a clever and fun way to teach the reading skill of using a silent E. There are many different funny scenarios that change when using or not using a silent E. Like when you slide down a long, snowy hill in a tub instead of on a tube. Or when Superman wears a cap instead of a cape because he doesn’t have a silent E.
