The Short Vowel Phonics book series is specifically designed for the beginning reader and the struggling reader. The series systematically covers many of the consonant phonics concepts of a typical first grade curriculum using only decodable, short vowel words and nine non-phonetic sight words.The first book in the series A Dog, a Cot consists of ten page-turning stories. Each story is short, focusing on one vowel sound, so that, a child can most easily experience success and thereby increase his or reading confidence. Each vowel is featured in two stories. Stories vary from 4 to 9 sentences in length. All letters of the alphabet are used in the book with the exception of vowel "y". Examples of short vowel words used are: pin, jet, big, box. Four non-phonetic sight words are used: a, has, is, the. If a child has mastered sound-letter relations, learned the four non-phonetic sight words, and blended sounds into words, Short Vowel Phonics 1 is the place where a child can experience the joy of reading a real book.The series has been praised by both educators and parents. Kirkus Discoveries wrote of Short Vowel Phonics 1: The organization and thorough, beginner-oriented approach set the book apart from many mass-market phonics readers..... A well thought-out, noteworthy addition to early phonics instruction.
