Our School Inspector reminded me of a method of remembering how to spell when I was in school!! Remember your 'have-a-go' pad? You would ask mum how to spell something, grab your have-a-go pad and try spell it yourself. If you were correct then AWESOME! If it was 'almost right' someone would spell it to you. Did you do that in school? Strangely enough my 'have-a-go' pad was extremely... empty.
My children ask me all the time, how do you spell ___. They have a go, and if needed I correct it.
This book is like a have-a-go pad, or... like a beginners dictionary. In alphabetical order, with written words already. What really makes this book is the illustrations and the fact that it is Aussie all the way through, perfect for an Australian Study or to add to an Aussie theme.
Koalas, kites and kangaroos,
Penguins and possums and pelicans too.
Worm-eating wagtails and wombats at play,
Surf-riding seas on a hot summer's day.
Rabbits on roller-skates, lizards on land,
Card-playing crocodiles, shells on the sand.
