A mnemonic is a learning technique that aids memory retention by associating new information with a pattern of letters, ideas, or associations. Our book utilizes the mnemonic "Big Elephants Can Add Up Sums Easily" to help children remember the spelling of the word "because" through a fun and memorable phrase.

'Tricky words', also known as sight words, are commonly used words that may not be easily decoded or sounded out using standard phonetic rules. For young readers, these words can be challenging, but they are essential for reading fluency and comprehension.

Our book is designed for children around 5 years old, which typically corresponds to the reception year in the UK or kindergarten in the US. However, children slightly younger or older may also benefit from the mnemonic technique, depending on their reading level and learning needs.

The book is designed for collaboration between the child and an adult. As you read through the book, encourage the child to say the mnemonic out loud on every other page. The repetition and the playful illustrations will help reinforce the spelling and meaning of "because."

Currently, this book focuses exclusively on the word "because." However, if the mnemonic method proves successful for your child, stay tuned for potential future publications covering more 'tricky words.'

Yes, our book is available as a physical copy and in digital format. The digital version can be purchased and downloaded from major e-book retailers.

Absolutely! Teachers can incorporate the book into their reading and spelling lessons. The mnemonic and illustrations are great for group readings and interactive learning.
