Decibella and Her 6-Inch Voice (Communicate With Confidence)

Spunky, spirited Isabella is always shouting out her every thought, idea, and feeling. She loves using her loud voice so much, everyone calls her "Decibella!" But that's not a nickname to brag about. Isabella's so loud, she interrupts class and irritates others. She doesn't know how or when to use a softer, quieter voice until her teacher introduces the "five volume" of voice - 6-inch, Whisper, Table-Talk, Strong Speaker, and Outside. Learning how and when to use each voice is made a lot more fun when Isabella is told to practice by saying aloud the word "Slurpadoodle!" Award-winning author Julia Cook's creative storytelling, coupled with eye-pleasing illustrations, help K through 6 readers learn and remember what voice volume to use when speaking in class, chatting in the library, sitting at the lunch table, or playing outside. Decibella and Her 6-inch Voice is the second book in the author's popular Communicate with Confidence book series, which focuses on skills to help young children be better communicators. Tips are included for parents and educators to help teach children proper voice volume. 31 pgs. The series also includes: The Technology Tail Gas Happens Well I Can Top That!
