This is a fabulous book for phonically geared students! I read to my 7-year-old who has dyslexia and putting context to spelling really helps him learn. The inclusion of all in games was a great message as well. We'll be re-reading!!!

I'm excited to find these books!

I loved this book. Although the game Red Rover is no longer played in schools, the story was so sweet and engaging. My first grade students need stories like these to make connections to letters and the roles they play in the creation of words. This story tells the job of vowels in a clear and uncomplicated way. The friendship and cooperation aspect makes this a great story for young learners. LOVE it!!!

"Red Rover, Red Rover, Send a Vowel Over" is a very nice book about the difference between vowels and consonants. My kid (5 y.o.) is learning to read and has enjoyed this book very much. The illustrations are very cute and are in vibrant colors and the use of letters as characters adds to the fun of the book.

The book doesn't go very deep into the details and pretty much only teaches that there are vowels and consonants, which are different (without saying how) and that you can only make words of there's at least a vowel.

I felt like the concepts could have been elaborated a bit (sich as actually showing the consonants trying to make words) , Instead, it kinda relies on the adult reader to make observations and explain the concepts to the kid.

Pros: I have been enjoying all of the books in the Language is Fun series--they teach a great lesson and have wonderfully bright illustrations. My favorite thing is how the letters are characters. This book teaches readers about vowels, and I think it would be great for adults to read with kids who are learning to spell.

Cons: None!

Thank you to NetGalley and Familius for the opportunity to read this book.

These are the cutest books! Fun story, colorful pictures, and learning all rolled into one. I enjoyed them and I am not even a kid. Children will love reading these again and again. Highly recommend!

My Opinion:
I thought this book is great for kids as they are starting to learn letters and form words. The author added a cute story to make it less educational but a parent/teacher can teach kids about the alphabet. It is also quick that will hold attention. Perfect for the classroom setting. Or a parent teaching at home.

This book was so cute! This author does a great job integrating reading practice in books with a story that children will be excited to read. My son and I loved working on the silent E together.

Red Rover, Red Rover, Send a Vowel Over is a fantastic book for introducing the concepts of consonants and vowels to children. It also talks about how being different is good, and sometimes required, so the lessons are multifaceted. The book also has the letters spell out simple words - great for young readers.

The illustrations are clear and concise, adding to the emotions of the letters as written on the page.

Great for teachers and parents alike!

I enjoyed this book. Introducing vowels in a fictional story is a great idea. I loved the old style games mentioned, too. I noticed on a couple of pages, the "o" in a, e, i, o, and u is a little hard to see being yellow and on a light background.
Thanks to the publisher for an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Such a cute way to explain the importance of vowels in words. The illustrations are adorable and children will enjoy reading this educational story

This story is very cute and a wonderful way to introduce or reinforce the job of a vowel. I cannot wait to share this story with my first graders. The pictures are beautiful and the story explains a lot about how the vowels work.

In "Red Rover, Red Rover, Send a Vowel Over", the classroom vowels aren't quite sure where they fit in...though Little a is a little disgruntled that she's always asked to go first. But a quick game (or rather, reinvention) of Red Rover fixes all that—because you can't do much without vowels!

(Just for fun: "n 'Rd Rvr, Rd Rvr, Snd Vwl vr', th clssrm vwls rn't qt sr whr thy ft n...thgh Lttl s lttl dsgrntld tht sh's lwys skd t g frst. Bt qck gm (r rthr, rnvntn) f Rd Rvr fxs ll tht—bcs y cn't d mch wtht vwls!")

Like the other books in this series, this is a very introductory look at a part of language, but I can see it helping early readers remember what's a consonant and what's a vowel...and what one special letter can be either. (I'm glad the book mentions that, because when I saw Little y playing with the consonants I was a little concerned that y would be written off as only a consonant!) A worthy addition to the collection.

Thanks to the author and publisher for providing a review copy through NetGalley.

A cute story that teaches early readers that you can’t make words without vowels.

Part of the Language is Fun series

Side note:
While it does teach the importance of vowels to make words it does not teach the vowel sounds. This book is best used as an educational tool for students who have already learned all of their phonics letter sounds

📚✏️📌📚As a preschool teacher, and a mom of four, I am always looking for stories that teach concepts quietly and are fun at the same time! I have these added to my Amazon cart, because these stories are just so cute! I wish I had these when teaching, and for my two oldest kids. They are colorful, the stories are fun and keeps the child wanting to find out what happens, and the importance of each concept is so important. I loved how each one was thorough in explaining the why, how, and when. Yet it was all apart of a story. My kids loved these books! I’m excited to add these to our set of learning books. Thank you @netgalley @kimberlee.gard @sandiesonke for the advance copies of this book. #learningbooks #educationbooks

I enjoyed this series of cute stories to teach children about the vowels and punctuation. The book clearly conveys the rule “You can not make a word without a vowel.” The illustrations are colourful and help the reader connect to the personalities of the letters…such a cute idea. Kindergarten to Grade 2 students will enjoy this story. This book (and the series) would be a great addition to classroom, school and public libraries to be shared with so many.
The expected publication date is September 10, 2024.

Thank you Net Galley, Kimberlee Gard and Familius for the opportunity to preview this title and the opinions shared are my own.

Another great addition to the series! My son has asked me to download all of these books and asked to read them tomorrow too. They are a huge hit for my emerging reader and would be a great addition to any classroom or home library.

This is such a cute educational book. I’m always looking for unique books for my little niece and this would be perfect! Learning can be fun and I want her to know that.

Cute little book about belonging and working together with nice graphics.
Thank you Net Galley for an opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

What a fun book for getting kids excited about grammar and learning letters. The pictures are colorful but not overly distracting. The story surrounds consonants who are playing a game and want to form words. The vowels are on the other side of the playground all alone. Then comes the game of Red Rover (caregivers might have to explain this game to kids) and the consonants realize they need the vowels to make words. It teaches acceptance and embracing differences (the letter "Y" as being both vowel and consonant). The author was sneaky and put in some shape lessons as well ("u" being mistaken for an "n", "a" always asked for first, etc.) This book would be a great addition to any primary school teacher's classroom teaching.

Oh my the vowels are having fun and so am I. I always believed that having fun while learning was the way to go, it makes teaching a breeze because kids get to enjoy learning time.
