Description
In Grandfather Rock, young readers will learn the short “o” vowel sound as Tom and his dog visit the dock and leave an offering for Grandfather Rock. Each book contains a word list, high-frequency words, short vowel words, and fun activities for extended learning.
Published in collaboration with Indigenous Education Press (IEP), a First Nation owned publisher passionate about Indigenous Education, the Drumbeat Decodable Book Collection provides the systematic practice children require to become phonics-wise readers. These books teach readers short vowels (a, e, i, o, u) in the context of cvc (consonant-vowel-consonant) words that bring an Indigenous Perspective. Each book features high-quality storytelling and vibrant illustrations to create an engaging reading experience for children. Author Sandra Samatte has a Bachelor of Education degree and expertise in creating Indigenous books and resources that are respectful, are culturally appropriate, and hold cultural integrity for educators, children, and young people.
