Now UFLI Aligned and Listed on the UFLI Decodable Text Guide The Short Vowel Beginning Reader Set is perfect for children who know their letter sounds and have the stamina to begin decoding or "sounding out" longer books than those found in the Charge into Reading Beginning Letters Short Vowel Decodable Reader Set . Each book in the set focuses on a single short vowel sound, building reading confidence one sound at a time and preparing readers to begin mixing short vowel sounds in the CVC Words Decodable Reader Set .

Only 5 sight (high-frequency) words: a, oh, the, to, was 73 unique short vowel words 8 pages of short-vowel-specific literacy activities per book enable parents or small groups to transition seamlessly from reading to practicing literacy skills.

For this reason, our short vowel decodable readers contain a select few consonant blends and digraphs that adhere to the select vowel sound. This is the only set where such an exception is made to future spelling patterns.
