This fourth book in the series introduces long vowel sounds
and diphthongs, ou (ow) and oi (oy).

These sounds are far easier for newcomers to distinguish than
the short vowel sounds and the r influenced sounds, which are
delayed until Book Five.

The sounds are presented with a page each of their common
spellings. For example, there is one page of words that have the
long /a/ sound spelled with a silent e at the end; one page of words
with the long a sound spelled with a silent i following the a, and a page of
words with the long a sound spelled with y following the a.

Students then see and hear the words in illustrated contexts, with
common sentence patterns. Common verbs, and common sight
words are presented in these sentences.

Each unit contains a whole language reading selection, based on a
short memorized song, chant, poem, or conversation.
