Long Vowels Birchall Publishing

Whether it's called the silent e, magic e or bossy e, words following a CVCe (consonant-vowel-consonant-e) pattern generally make a long middle vowel sound...words such as cave, bike, hose and mule. Early readers need lots of practice with phonics. That's why The Phonics for Kids series of early readers targets specific phonics skills to help students who are just learning to read. What makes the Phonics for Kids Series special? Vowels are printed in red and consonants in blue to show students phonics patterns in words. High interest photographs provide plenty of picture support. Using picture clues is an important reading comprehension strategy. This series of targeted early phonics readers is designed for precocious toddlers, kindergarten students, preschool students, first grade students and ELL students (English Language Learners) who are learning English. Learning to read is critically important for a child's school success. We publish books to help build excited and confident early readers.
