Susie Will Not Speak was one of the first hOle books I read, and it remains one of my favourites. Jahan and Susie leap out of the pages – sparkling characters that make the story what it is.
Susie has a lisp. How can she say even her own name without proclaiming her lisp to the world? There’s just one solution. Susie will not speak. Ever. What can her best friend Jahan do?
What if you refuse to speak? How else can you communicate?
We can use the chat box, charades, artwork, and even make up a sign language of our own. During our very first class, that’s exactly what we’ll do!
Bullies make up mean rhymes about Susie, but those rhymes don’t even make sense. Surely, we can do better! We’ll try to make up rhymes about ourselves – and they’ll make sense too!
A noise annoys an oyster.
She sells seashells on the seashore.
Susie may not agree, but playing with tongue twisters is fun! How many other tongue twisters do we know? And how fast can we say them?
