Ayes & Nays

Two or more words that sound the same, but have different meanings, or spellings (such as, to, too, and two) are a form of homonyms that are known as homophones. Words and their meanings are always fun and interesting, and so our author and illustrator decided to have some fun with words when she put together this fun, ‘learn to read‘ book that shows some fun twists of words in the English language. There are also words that sound the same and are spelled the same and have different meanings! These are called homographs. Written by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, and filled with word recognition, word repetition and rhyme, this book has extra large print that‘s perfect for young eyes to see; and it‘s just the right size to fit in a kid-sized backpack! While this book concentrates on the homonym, homophone and homograph concepts, it brings to to mind the concept of synonyms, which are words that have the same meaning, but sound and are spelled differently, And as usual, you can look for the lessons on life in this book, just to top things off a bit!
