Charley Chapters

Synopsis:  Charley Chapters and his friends come to the rescue again when the question about adjectives comes up.  What are they?  What do they do?  The students will see how adjectives help readers and listeners form better pictures in their minds.  Adjectives help us see the story in our heads.  As they are encouraged to use adjectives to describe nouns they will see their stories blossom into full color.

Booklist

“Animated book Charley Chapters helps his two young friends learn the fundamentals of grammar in two titles from an ongoing series.  Adventures with Adjectives has Charley’s two puppet associates define and describe these noun modifiers.  Crazy Compound Words introduces closed, open, and hyphenated words as a puppet scientist brews up some goofy compound words to consider.  Each program is set in a school library and the puppet characters provide the humor in the lesson at hand.  These programs are especially useful in that they offer a great many spoken and visualized examples and reinforcements of concepts.  Clear onscreen captioning, diagrams, and pictograms are also effective aids.”
