K-3Vowels series.
Each formulaic, easy-to-read title introduces sounds (long or short) and placements (at the beginning, middle, or end of a word) of a specific vowel. The vowel's unique features are also highlighted (e.g., "A can even be a word by itself"). Bright, full-page stock photos accompany the approachable language-arts lessons, but the books don't rise above their intended purpose. Review covers these Vowels titles: What Good Is a U?, What Good Is a Y?, What Good Is an A?, What Good Is an E?, What Good Is an I?, and What Good Is an O?.
