★★★★★ out of 5
- My Kindergartener is learning to read and is super enjoying this book series. He can read them with little help and thinks they are so funny! They are much more interesting than most early readers and are very basic for just starting out. I love that they are only short vowel words which build his confidence. - AcadiaM., parent

Short Vowel Shorts is a set of five phonics books for kids that can help them gain confidence as they learn how to read. The books are designed to be an engaging compliment to word family or phonics worksheets and other reading activities, so kids enjoy reading from the start.

They don’t contain any sight words/tricky words or silent letters, so children who know all their letter sounds but haven’t learned sight words yet can sound out (decode) the words and read them, initially with help from a parent or teacher, and then by themselves.

Each story contains only one short vowel sound, so children are only deciphering one vowel sound for the whole story rather than a mix of multiple vowel sounds.

The aim of Short Vowel Shorts is to provide parents and teachers with an option for a phonics step between single letter sounds/word families and short stories that contain sight words and a mix of multiple vowel sounds.

With original full color illustrations and in story format, Short Vowel Shorts can be an engaging supplement to word families that will have children gaining skills, confidence, and enjoyment as readers, and saying: "Can I Read-It-On-My-Own?" and then: “I just Read-It-On-My-Own!”
