Children will enjoy speech-work and reading more when they meet Sidney The Silly Sailor. This fairly short tongue twister places emphasis on the Initial "S" sound ("S" at the beginning of a word). Written with the assistance of speech-language professionals, this tongue twister is fully illustrated and quite easy to memorize. It's suitable for use by both professionals and parents of children learning to read or undergoing speech-therapy.
At the end of the rhyme, you will find "Say The Word", a list of illustrated words for the "S" sound. And if you take a close look at the colourful illustrations, you'll find many interesting sea creatures whose names begin with "S".
