Sunrise & Little Car

'Sunrise & Little Car' is a children's book, designed as a home literacy tool, targeting the development of morphological awareness. Morphological awareness is the understanding of, and the ability to use, distinctive 'pieces' of words that have their own, unique meanings. Research has shown that support for the development of morphology in children can also support the development of other important language and literacy skills, especially for children who experience delays or differences in their language development. The book is composed of four stories which follow two friends, Sunrise and Little Car, on short adventures in their daily life. Each story centers on a particular root or affix and explores possible morphological combinations, offering readers a chance to notice patterns within words and strengthen their overall awareness of morphology.
