Readers will see from Phoebe\'s fellow kindergartners\' attempts that everyone makes mistakes, and that we can take pride in effort and not just perfection.
Told in a relatable, introspective voice, this school story conveys the feelings and worries of a 5-year-old and supports learning about Sounds and letters.
Readers are privy to her funny, endearing interior monologue and little-kid rationale as she writes the result: FEEBY.
Her teacher tells her to -just sound it out.- Phoebe doubts herself and procrastinates before resolving to try.
At school, her classmates practice writing their names, but Phoebe struggles.
Unfortunately, her name doesn\'t look quite like it sounds.
