Teach us Amelia Bedelia!
 by Peggy Parish

Summary: The very literal minded Amelia Bedelia becomes a substitute teacher for a day.

I loved this book at the beginning of second grade! I recommend any of the Amelia Bedelia books for reluctant readers and lovers of reading. They are very funny. Though they are beginning readers, and not in a large picture book format, these books are great for teaching homonyms, or words that sound alike but have different meanings. In these books, Amelia Bedelia is always confusing words. For example, when the teacher leaves instructions to “call the roll” or take attendance, Amelia takes out a roll for a sandwich and calls “Roll! Roll!”
