Synopsis
Silent letters make spelling much too difficult and the students in Mr. Wright's class have had enough of them. When the letters find out that the class is sending a letter to the newspaper editor asking for silent letters to be banned, they slip out of the missive and chaos ensues. The personality of each letter is distinctively portrayed, giving this grammar lesson the energy and humor to make it as much fun as the previous two books (PUNCTUATION TAKES A VACATION and NOUNS AND VERBS HAVE A FIELD DAY).

About the Author
Lynn Rowe Reed lives in Indiana.
From School Library Journal
Gr 1-3–Mr. Wright's students are frustrated by silent letters. “We can't hear them, so who needs them? They should be banned!” proclaim the students in an email to the newspaper. Overhearing the complaints and feeling wretched, the silent letters sneak out of the email, leaving it nonsensical and riddled with embarrassing spelling mistakes. Once it's published, Mr. “Rit's” students see the error of their ways and realize silent letters are “mighty fine,” not “mity fin.” Pulver's latest grammar lesson (Holiday House, 2008) can be a fun accompaniment to what could otherwise be a pedantic word study. Lynn Rowe Reed's bright and inventive letters are made of an array of odds and ends, textures and media. The silent letters in the text are printed in a simple outline-only font. Children may have an “aha!” moment if they see the email—abandoned by the insulted letters—written out before they begin the story. A spoken-only preface encourages listeners to imagine silent letters all having different personalities and voices. John Beach's narration varies with each letter and character and his pacing pairs well with the non-linear text patterns. The story is enhanced with background sounds, subtle music, and sound effects. Page-turn signals are optional.–Jane Newschwander, Fluvanna County Public Schools, VAα(c) Copyright 2013.
