There’s A Gnome in my Home: Phonetically-based Poems to Engage Struggling Readers and English Language Learners

Come along with educator and writer Judy Brim as she shows you a world full of frantic animal antics, passels of pigs, and home-hopping gnomes!

While each poem is bright and engaging, they are all part of a larger purpose. Every poem in this unique collection will help intermediate readers and English language learners understand a new phonetic sound and apply it to their own communication. By encountering several words with different spellings of the same sound, like the short /a/ sound in “frantic animal antics,” readers will gain the confidence to pick them out in other books and practice them aloud.
