Set 1 of 4: Short Vowel Readers
25 books
Build a strong reading foundation with the first set in the Foxtail Phonics sequence. These 25 carefully decodable readers introduce all five short vowel sounds—a, e, i, o, and u—through simple consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words such as cat, bed, and sun.
As children read, they practice hearing each sound, blending sounds together, and gaining confidence one word at a time. This set gives early readers the essential skills they need before moving on to more advanced phonics patterns.
Please note: This set includes books only. The Foxtail Phonics box and flashcards are not included.
Your Child Progresses Through Four Essential Stages:
Short Vowels are the first books and start with very simple consonant-vowel-consonant words (CVC words) with a focus on each of the short vowel sounds. 5 books focused on the short sound ă, 5 on short ĕ and so forth.
Blends: putting two letters together that make two sounds. like bl, cr, and st
Digraphs: two letters when put together make one sound like sh, th, and wh
Long Vowels: Two vowel words where the first vowel says its name and the e is silent.
Each book is designed to be successfully decoded, helping children experience that powerful moment: "I can read this."
And just as important, these are books children want to read. With whimsical, high-quality illustrations and a cast of lovable characters that appear throughout the series, reading becomes something they look forward to, not just practice.
This isn't just a set of books, it's a system that builds confident, capable, and joyful readers.
