Doc Leeda is a vet with a magical power; she can speak to and understand animals. Join her as she cares for sick and injured animals; and helps young readers learn the many ways to spell vowel phonemes.
Designed for teachers, parents, and aides to use in one-to-one and small-group learning, each book focuses on one phoneme, which is highlighted each time it appears in the text. Engaging full-color illustrations appear on every story page. Each book includes directions for an adult helper, and a review of concepts for the student.
