Reviews

A charming first look at phonics for early readers, the books in this series are designed to build upon one another. Starting with more simple concepts like short and long vowels, titles begin to get more difficult, adding in ideas like consonant blends, digraphs, and diphthongs. The books include silly, rhyming sentences that demonstrate the concept being explored ('The witch in the ditch began to itch.'). These get increasingly more complex as the book goes on. Each sentence is accompanied by a pleasing, cartoon-inspired illustration of what is being described with labels. These visual cues help support decoding and comprehension skills. A 'Make Your Own' prompt, which asks readers to write their own story with the featured words, is included at the end. VERDICT With amusing illustrations and delightful rhymes, these books take an entertaining approach to teaching phonics.--School Library Journal -- Journal (4/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
