Letter Buddies Vowels Matter
Letter Buddies: Vowels Matter helps young readers hear, see, and read vowel sounds with confidence. Each book focuses on a common vowel sound or spelling pattern and features five carefully sequenced vocabulary words, supported by clear, kid-friendly photography.
Every title includes a phonics practice page with differentiated activities for word study, decoding, and dictated sentences. The set includes 44 vowel-focused books plus a comprehensive teacher’s guide for easy, effective instruction.
Created by literacy experts Celeste (C.C.) Bates, Ph.D., Associate Dean and Director of the Clemson University Early Literacy Center, and Maryann McBride, M.Ed., College of Education, Clemson University, this series draws on decades of experience helping children crack the vowel code—one sound at a time.
