I have endeavored to combine interesting story telling with an emphasis on correct enunciation of certain sounds. A number of specific sounds have been chosen and stories have been created which center upon the repetition of these sounds to assist children in gaining control of their speech.
Those children who appear to have speech difficulties can, thus, be directed to early intervention to work on both articulation and enunciation.
While speech improvement is certainly a key factor in this book, it is also hoped that the stories can stand on their own merit as exciting, entertaining, and imaginative.
Various literary devices such as personification, metaphors, similes, proverbs and anagrams have been incorporated into the stories in an effort to show children how such devices can enhance their reading as well as their own writing.
The individual vocabulary for each sound is also readily available at the end of each story.
