This series is defined as "short phonetic" because words are three letters or less.  The focus is short vowel sounds, e.g., bat, hen, lid, dog, and cup.  A broad range of beginning and ending sounds is emphasized.

The photo represents the 5 essential exercises displayed in wooden containers; vowels are mixed, but may be separated with additional containers.
