Reviews

[Ruth Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think kids will find this book helpful and easy to read. The rules are in boxes and examples and exceptions are listed on the page, along with colorful photographs of active kids. With so many pictures, and appearing skinny, this 32 page book will not overwhelm the kid who is challenged by spelling.
