Learning Magic E

Although long vowel sounds can be spelled many ways, the VCE pattern is the first children learn, as it frequently appears as a component of longer words. This decodable reader set focuses on the first rule of the Silent E: changing a short vowel sound to a long vowel sound.

This set contains five books, each focused on a different long vowel VCE sound to allow mastery of one vowel sound at a time before moving on to more complicated spelling patterns.

Strong VCE Focus

The Long Vowel VCE Beginning Reader Set is perfect for children who have mastered blending short vowel words and digraphs, and are ready to learn the Silent E.

This set introduces children to 109 new VCE words, which make up 58% of all the unique words in the set. Five vowel-specific books give children ample opportunity to master long vowel VCE words.

8 Pages of Literacy Activities Per Book

40 pages of vowel-specific literacy activities enhance a reader’s mastery of the specific long vowel sound being focused on and offer increased confidence in a child's reading skills.

8 pages of vowel-specific activities per book, including decoding, phonemic awareness work, and spelling enable small groups or parents to transition seamlessly from reading to practicing literacy skills.

About the Author

Brooke Vitale began her career as a children's book editor twenty years ago with one goal: create books that children will enjoy reading and that will have a lasting impact on their lives. But it wasn't until she started teaching her own son to read that she realized just how important it was to have the right books. That realization led Brooke to learn more about how children actually learn to read. The result was Charge Mommy Books, a publishing company with a focus on early childhood literacy.

Brooke is the author of the Charge into Reading Decodable Reading line, a series of structured readers that grows with a child's reading skills, as well as the Charge into Reading Level 1 readers, for children who are ready for longer, more advanced books. She is also the author of more than 100 traditionally published books including The Magic Is in You, The Mandalorian: A Clan of Two, and Goonies: An Illustrated Classic. All told, Brooke’s books have sold over 500,000 copies and climbing.

When Brooke is not writing books for children, she works as a children's book editor. Over the course of her 15+ years at top New York publishers, Brooke Vitale has edited thousands of books, including best-selling titles Hide-and-Hug Olaf and Olaf’s Night Before Christmas. Today, Brooke is a freelance children’s book editor and runs brookevitale.com, a website dedicated to helping aspiring authors navigate the publishing and self-publishing industry. Since beginning her freelance career, Brooke has helped more than 1,000 authors achieve their dream of publishing a book.

Brooke lives in Connecticut. When she is not writing or editing she can be found playing Charge Mommy in the backyard with her two young sons.

Brooke Vitale began her career as a children's book editor twenty years ago with one goal: create books that children would enjoy reading and that would have a lasting impact on their lives. But it wasn't until she started teaching her own son to read that she realized just how important it was to have the right books. And she realized that the right books weren’t available. That realization led Brooke to learn more about how children actually learn to read. She teamed up with Orton-Gillingham trained literacy specialist Marisa Ware to design a line of beginning readers that children could ACTUALLY read. The result was the Charge into Reading Decodable Book series, now being adopted by school districts around the country.

In addition to the Charge into Reading line, Brooke is also the author of more than 100 traditionally published books including The Magic Is in You, The Mandalorian: A Clan of Two, and Goonies: An Illustrated Classic. All told, Brooke’s books have sold over 500,000 copies and climbing.

I have been teaching first grade for 25 years and have been searching for books my students could read as they learned the code. I purchased this set to give it a try in my classroom. I am very impressed with the quality and the excellent use of the skills for each book. I have appreciated the extra practice these give my students with the sound spelling we are working on. There are also activities at the end of each book and word lists to practice at the front of the book. I went ahead and purchased enough sets for my small group instruction. Thank you so much for an excellent product.

These decodable books are FANTASTIC. They are a great addition to supporting my phonics instruction. My 2nd graders love them. If you use SIPPS Extension, any of the Charge Mommy decodables are a perfect match.
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
I'm so glad I found the Charge Into Reading books and have been able to purchase all the sets for my classroom. It is so convenient to be able to pull out an engaging book that targets a specific skill for my students. The books have wonderful pictures and engaging stories that my students enjoy reading. We also like the activities at the end of each book.

These decodables are wonderful! My students love that they can practice the skills they are learning and be successful at reading the entire book themselves!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024
I saw these books all over social media and was not sure if they were as good as everyone said..... THEY ARE! These stories make all the difference for those foundational skills to help kids learn to read and become fluent. I also love the comprehension piece you are able to do with it because that is not always the case with decodables.
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024
We've been making our way through this whole series and they are so good! They've relieved a lot of the frustration my daughter was having around learning to read. She's made remarkable progress in the last six months, almost entirely thanks to these wonderful books.

My kids love these books! It’s hard to find books about sports that they can actually read. They keep choosing these because they love the stories and the activities at the end. Another winner!
