Description

In Rhett and Jett, young readers will learn the short “e” vowel sound as Rhett and Jett set a net and pitch a tent for a fun day of camping. Each book contains a word list, high-frequency words, short vowel words, and fun activities for extended learning.

Published in collaboration with Indigenous Education Press (IEP), a First Nation-owned publisher passionate about Indigenous Education, the Drumbeat Decodable Book Collection provides the systematic practice children require to become phonics-wise readers. This series focuses on words and sentences with consistent and predictable phonics patterns that allow for an immersive reading experience with optimal decoding and engagement. Author Sandra Samatte has a Bachelor of Education degree and expertise in creating Indigenous books and resources that are respectful, are culturally appropriate, and hold cultural integrity for educators, children, and young people.

The Drumbeat Decodable collection is set in the context of an Anishinaabe perspective using lived experiences, voice, and illustrations of Indigenous Author and Educator, Sandra Samatte, Skownan First Nation, and Lead Designer Julian Grafenauer, Rolling River First Nation. The Drumbeat Decodable collection does not represent all First Nations, Inuit, Métis or Native American perspectives. Indigenous Peoples, of which Anishinaabe or Anishinaabeg are a part, are diverse and live across Turtle Island.
