If You Were Alliteration (Word Fun) Library Binding – Illustrated, January 1, 2008

I teach 1st and 2nd grades and this entire series of "If You Were..." books is AMAZING! Having quality read-aloud books that align with my standards is such a gift. Trisha Speed Shaskan is one of my all-time favorite authors!

This book is child friendly and helps to explain the meaning of the word. Its creative use of alliteration creates a desire to use it in writing.

Amazing!

This does an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating alliteration. My first grader and I read it together. I really like how the "If You Were..." books put the reader in the story and connect him/her to alliteration, onomatopoeia, etc. "If you were alliteration, you could create tongue twisters. If you were alliteration, you could be a poem." We had a great time doing the activity at the end of the book - making acrostic poems using alliteration and our names. The "To Learn More" resources in the back are useful to continue the learning.

Wonderful read aloud story for young childrenGREAT vocabulary- many conversation starters
