Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 1–Phonics instruction is the objective in these three titles, all of which introduce short vowel sounds. Engaging cartoon illustrations accompany the stories, which deal with a funny animal fix-it man, a girl's cactus, and a hot summer day. All titles include fact sheets and lists of decodable words, high-frequency words, and challenging words. These books will not offer much to children who are already fluent readers; however, they serve as reliable tools for decoding, using the currently popular phonics approach.–Gloria Koster, West School, New Canaan, CT
