Read aloud! Opral and the Edge Control: A Homophone Mystery

Welcome to a heartwarming adventure in 'Opral and the Edge Control: A Homophone Mystery,' part of our beloved Brown Book Collection! Join Camille and me as we read about Opral’s class welcoming a new student from Ghana. Although his English is challenging to understand, the class learns valuable lessons about empathy, inclusivity, and the richness of diverse backgrounds. Plus, there’s a little mystery—someone has been giving the girls edge control because they see them using it every day before class. But who could it be? Dive into this homophone-filled story with us, where each page turns to encourage understanding and celebrate our differences. Watch now and discover how Detective Opral and her friends solve the mystery and make their new classmate feel at home.
