To the teacher or parents:

book 1

This book will lead your student through short

vowels a,e,i,o and u. This book is designed to instill
confidence in reading and solidify phonics rules for
ESL/EFL students. The words and pictures were
designed for children and to reflect vocabulary students
should have already encountered.

At the top of each section there are instructions for

the student to be read out by the teacher.
There are examples to guide them in the beginning.
This book is most beneficial if the vocabulary is not
new to the student.
