K-Gr 2—Vowel teams are building blocks that comprise numerous words. This series provides children with good opportunities to practice their reading skills by introducing many new words featuring six common vowel teams. A chart on the Table of Contents page identifies the team, names the sound(s) the team makes, and lists six or nine words that include the team's sound(s); children are invited to read the list's red-highlighted words to hear the sound(s). If a vowel team makes more than one sound, as in the case of "ea" (eat, bread), this is noted. The remainder of each short book focuses on sentences in which two-to-four words containing the vowel team are highlighted; the team is also highlighted in red in a yellow box at the top of text pages. Occasionally, there are questions among the sentences, with answers including words reflecting the vowel team. Where a team makes more than one sound, sentences feature words including both. Accompanying text pages are excellent color photos portraying racially diverse children and/or families having fun. The photos are great comprehension aids; photos whose names contain target vowel-team sounds also appear on covers and title pages. Back matter features picture glossaries with definitions as well as lists of every included vowel team word —defined, pronounced, and organized by parts of speech. VERDICT Recommended for providing plenty of phonemic practice.
