What if the hardest part of your first day of school... was your name?
Elianna is excited to meet her new classmates, but something doesn't sound quite right. As her teacher and friends say her name, Elianna notices the difference between what they say and how her name is meant to sound.
Through a day filled with new friends, classroom activities, and quiet moments of thinking, Elianna begins to understand the power of letters and sounds-especially the short ĕ in her name. With courage and confidence, she finds her voice and gently teaches others how to say her name correctly.
Elianna's Short ĕ is a heartwarming early reader that introduces young learners to phonics while celebrating identity, confidence, and the importance of being heard. Perfect for beginning readers, this story helps children recognize vowel sounds, build literacy skills, and take pride in their own names.
Perfect for early learners, this book supports phonics instruction by highlighting short and long vowel sounds in a meaningful, story-based context. Ideal for classroom read-alouds, small group instruction, and building confidence in emerging readersAlso in
