Little Mr. Big Ears: Multisensory Approach for the Development of Speech, Language and Phonics - Basic Reading Skills Paperback – October 22, 2025

There was great excitement in Fairyland as a new elf had just been born. He was different from all the other elves because he was only the size of a thumbnail, and the only thing that grew were his ears. So, they called him Little Mr. Big Ears. His ears were important to him as he was able to listen better than most. His tiny size helped him fly into a mouth to observe how the tongue, teeth and lips made the different speech sounds. His favorite thing was making up hand cues and poems to help remind you how a sound is made.This was before there were any books, words, or even letters. While people could talk to each other, they had no way to write down their talk. This concerned Her Highness Fairy in Fairyland, so she selected Little Mr. Big Ears with his sensitive ears and ability to fly and the Good Fairy with her magic wand to go to earth-land to find all the 'people talk' sounds and form letters so they could write down their talk. Little Mr. Big Ears is a fun, fairy-tale themed, pre-reading program with imaginative, original and professionally illustrated stories explaining the consonants and the sounds they produce. Associated visual, auditory and tactile cues are included in this multi-sensory approach that teaches the basic skills of reading to children (pre-school age and up, including children with disabilities, dyslexia, and those in special education), English as a Second Language learners and adults with reading difficulties. This approach helps students appreciate how sounds are produced and consequently promotes improved articulation and auditory discrimination of phonemes as visual, tactile and kinesthetic pathways are utilized simultaneously. Children would benefit greatly if parents would utilize these simple techniques when babies begin talking. Students need to experience more success than failure in life. With Little Mr. Big Ears they have that opportunity along with the added benefit of having FUN![Type text][Type text][Type text] Read more
