Doc Leeda is a vet with a magical power—she can speak to and understand animals. Join her as she cares for sick and injured animals—and helps young readers learn the many ways to spell vowel phonemes.
 
Designed for teachers, parents, and aides to use in one-to-one and small-group learning, each book focuses on one phoneme, which is highlighted each time it appears in the text. Engaging full-color illustrations appear on every story page. Each book includes directions for an adult helper, and a review of concepts for the student.
