Guide Review - Vowel Play

Michaelson Press has captured the spirit of baseball in this fast-paced game while inspiring kids to learn to spell words in order to score "hits" in the game. It's played like a real baseball game with strikes, outs, runs and innings. Players provide missing vowels from four words on "League" cards in order to advance around the bases and score runs. Vowel Play can be played by all ages at the same time, making it a great choice for homeschooling families. Get kids excited about spelling by playing "Vowel Play".
