The Rain Feast

The Rapid Reading book series allows readers to slowly acquire the decoding skills needed in the right order to learn to read and become fluent readers. The series contains interesting, colorful stories with the reading skill emphasized on every page. The constant repetition of prevalent decoding skills allows readers to quickly and efficiently practice the sounds, thereby internalizing them and becoming fluent readers. Book 9 of the series emphasizes the long vowel sound: The story follows two teen boys who wait for the rain to stop and make a tasty meal. This book completes the second set of the series (books 6-9), which improves fluency, reading stories with digraphs, blends, magic e, and long vowel sounds. **This book also contains a reading strategy to facilitate the reading of long vowel words.
