Barron's Reader's Clubhouse Level 1 Short Vowels

This set of five slipcase-bound books is first in a series of sets that introduce the fundamentals of reading to children from pre-school through grades K and 1. This set's short-vowel titles are the first five volumes in a comprehensive 18-volume series of basic readers, all of which use the phonics method. This five-book set teaches kids to recognize words in which the dominant vowel sound is a, e, i, o, or u, each book concentrating on a single vowel. All are Level 1 readers with amusing stories and eye-catching color illustrations. Each title also suggests an activity that encourages kids to interact with the book's subject matter. Follow-up material in each book includes a word list, summarizing all the words being taught, plus a letter to parents and teachers explaining the fundamental concepts underlying both the series and the specific title. The Valu-Pak method of acquiring these readers for $15.96 per set gives the purchaser a savings of $3.99 as compared with purchases of the five books separately, which would cost $19.95. All of the remaining volumes in the "Reader's Clubhouse" series can also be purchased as sets at comparable savings. The three other "Valu-Pak" sets that complete the Reader's Clubhouse series are: " Level 1 Short-Vowel Review Valu-Pak" (4 volumes); " Level 2 Long-Vowel Valu-Pak" (5 volumes); and" Level 2 Long-Vowel Review Valu-Pak" (4 volumes).Schmauss, Judy Kentor is the author of 'Barron's Reader's Clubhouse Level 1 Short Vowels' with ISBN 9780764179679 and ISBN 0764179675.
