From the Author- Whereas the short vowels (a, e, i, o and u) are the original stars in Bob Books Sets 1 - 4, readers who have advanced all the way to Set 5 begin learning long vowels, the fascinating new stars of the alphabet. These two new concepts stimulate your reader by opening the door to longer stories and more complex spellings: The silent, magic e at the end of a word makes the vowel say its own name. For instance, mat becomes mate. Sam becomes same. Can you think of other words that are changed by the magic e ? It s a game! When two vowels go walking, the first does the talking. This means: When two vowels team up as a pair, the first vowel says its own name as in, train, rain, coat or boat. Titles in Set 5 include The Game, Joe s Toe, and The Train.

Set 5 includes the most complex words and sentences of any of the Bob Books... See less
