Heinrichs, Ann. Language rules

When learning to read, kids are often intimidated by 'bigger' words. This title teaches younger audiences how to break such words apart and introduces them to the concept of roots. Reading becomes easy and fun once it's clear how various letter combinations can change a word's meaning. The Language Rules! series introduces readers to one of the most difficult things they'll ever have to learn--the English language. Using fun examples, helpful hints, and hilarious original illustrations, the author demystifies the mechanics of grammar. Each book tackles a different part of speech, untangling complicated usage rules point by point. Additional features to aid comprehension include a table of contents, a phonetic glossary, sources for further research, an index, and an introduction to the author and illustrator. These books will benefit any young reader learning the rules of language for the first time
