A rebus is a story which uses icons or pictures in place of or in conjunction with nouns and/or adjectives. A few children's magazines such as Highlights For Children and Ladybug use rebuses to help young readers learn to read. Highlights incorporates both the picture and the noun in their stories. Rebuses generally run 100 - 200 words. The key to a good rebus is repeating several nouns throughout the story. Writing a rebus is not as easy as it appears. More so than in other forms of writing, every single word must be necessary, given the maximum word count allowed by the magazines.
