Poor Nell! Please don't tell: She lost her mother's silver bell! Will she ever find it? Learn how luck and good intentions come together in this sweet, funny tale!
This rib-tickling read-aloud tale was created especially to build early phonics skills by teaching children to recognize "families" of words that share the same spelling pattern. This key reading strategy helps kids decode new words with ease—and become stronger readers, writers, and spellers! Also includes riddles, a cheer, and reading tips!
