This is a children's picture book full of rhymes about Ramone's adventure to the moon in his silver rocket.
The catchy rhymes are intended to introduce complex, probably unfamiliar, words to young readers. Indeed, this is a valuable strategy to improve academic outcomes. Educators know that building a strong vocabulary at an early age is also key to raising reading success and narrowing the achievement gap.
This book deliberately includes higher-level word choices to expose your child to language that they will use throughout their lives.
Some of my recent publications include poetry and fiction found in Assisi Journal, Gravel, Torrid, Literary Orphans, Yellow Chair Review, Silver Pen, Illumen, Haiku Journal, Broke Bohemian, Chantwood, Folded Word, America’s Emerging Writers, and Gyroscope Review. Below, I provide a link to a freakishly detailed list if you're especially inquisitive.
