Emmett and the Magic Spelling Train

Emmett loved trains more than anything in the world. He had train books, train toys, and even a train whistle he blew every morning. But there was one other thing he loved just as much—spelling! However, Emmett was afraid to spell words with the letter A. No matter how hard he tried, that letter always made him nervous. One bright Saturday morning, Emmett and Mom arrived at the station just in time to see a big, shiny blue train pulling in. "Wow!" Emmett gasped. "That train looks magical!" Mom smiled. "Maybe it is," she said. "Why don’t we go see?" As Emmett walked closer, he noticed something unusual. The train’s wheels shimmered, and the conductor tipped his hat with a knowing smile. "All aboard the Spelling Express!" the conductor called.
