Build Long Vowel Knowledge. Support Independent Reading. Strengthen Phonics Foundations.
Designed for beginning readers, Dandelion Readers VCe Spellings introduces split vowel spellings in a clear, structured way. Each book focuses on one VCe spelling pattern, helping students connect phonics instruction directly to meaningful reading.
