HEAR What's HERE is a children's picture book humorously exploring words that sound the same, but are not spelled the same and have very different meanings. Cleverly written by Mike Agrelius, amazingly illustrated by award-winning cartoonist Val Chadwick Bagley.Here (and hear) are a pair (not pear) of reasons the English language is crazy hard to understand: 1. Words can be pronounced the same but spelled differently. 2. Words that sound the same can have totally different meanings.That can be challenging for children, for those with English as a second language, and for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.One of the best things to do with challenges is to make the challenge FUN.Sample:Can you find a PAIR of PEARS?Do you SEE the SEA?Would you like to STARE at STAIRS?Or maybe BE a BEE?
