A Flock of Shoes by Sarah Tsiang
At the end of summer, Abby refuses to give up her sandals despite all her mother’s reasons for letting them go. But while Abby’s playing at the park, swinging higher and higher, her flip-flops slip off her feet and fly away, joining other sandals headed southward in a V formation. At first, she grudgingly puts on boots and wears them all winter, though she imagines her sandals vacationing at the beach and sending her fond postcards. Spring brings two more footwear-related surprises for Abby.
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.
