      For many people, ‘Give me a vowel’ will bring up an instant reference to the TV programme Countdown. In the context of the game show, vowels and consonants were linked to letters of the alphabet, with A-E-I-O-U being vowels and the other 21 letters c

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta

      Dangerous Jobs: Firefighter is an informational book about what firefighters do, how they train, and the dangers involved in their work. I like this book for three reasons, beginning with the writing, which capture’s the reader’s attention in the first sentences of chapter one, Fire!, which reads, ”A group of firefighters is relaxing at the station. Suddenly, a call comes in. There is a house on fire!” Another aspect that I like is the various lists and additional information that accompany the text. In chapter three, Danger!, a gear checklist accents the text’s discussion of safety measures. Finally, I like how the level of information is appropriate for elementary aged readers, with certain words, such as endurance, volunteer, and collapse, highlighted to indicate that their definition is available in the glossary.
