Al the Ant and Ben the Bug take young learners on a journey through short vowel sounds in the level one phonics reader. Simple, colorful illustrations and short sentences will soon have your child reading. They look for the little bug on every page and at the end they get to seek and find bugs with Al and match bugs with each other as well. The Looking, Listening and Thinking page has thought provoking questions for the young reader. This is one in our series of phonics books, written by Chris to help a first grade student master reading. We have more books available on internet sites. Search: Chris Morningforest.
