Goose the Moose is Loose!: Long Vowel OO Sound (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781948863032)

Learning to read can be very difficult for children. It is important that the steps are small enough to ensure success. Many early reading children's books immediately cover all short and long vowel sounds together, which is very confusing for first time readers. Through my research, I have found that it is very important to introduce the vowel sounds one at a time. Since there are so many first time reading books that blend too many words with too many vowel sounds together this can be frustrating for children and sometimes makes them want to shut down and give up. Therefore, I created these books so that children can build their confidence when reading. Each book focuses on a particular vowel sound and starts out with simple words for success. This book focuses on the long vowel OO sound. Each book is meant to be read over and over by the parent, then together, and eventually let the child try on their own. When reading the books, point to each word and each sound as you read it. Then, work on blending the sounds as you point to each sound with the child. There are lists of the focus words at the end of each book to practice reading to and with your child. Since each book focuses on one vowel sound, it helps them to succeed in building their reading skills by working on one book and therefore one vowel sound at a time. As your child builds confidence in one book, they can move to the next.

Goose the Moose is Loose is about a moose that gets loose and goes on a grand adventure. He does things and gets into things that he shouldn't and at the end of the day he is caught and sent to his room. At the end of the day he sits in his room and remembers his adventure, but knows he needs to follow the rules.

Happy reading
