The Luckiest St. Patrick's Day Ever! by Teddy Slater

Its March 17th, and the leprechauns are gathered for their favorite day of the year. Young readers can join them as they celebrate St. Patrick's Day with music, dancing, and a parade.

This book promotes phonological awareness.

Phonological awareness is the awareness of all of the sounds of language. It is the ability to hear and distinguish sounds. This includes: Recognizing sounds, Adding sounds, Taking apart sounds, Moving sounds around.  

Why is it important for children to have these skills? Phonological and phonemic awareness help children become prepared to learn how letters and sounds go together into words. This makes it much easier for someone to learn to read and write!
Weak skills in phonological awareness are a primary cause for reading difficulties.
