<br/><br/> Duke Has a Tube is an early-reader phonics story focused on long vowel sounds, especially the long “u”. The simple narrative follows Duke as he interacts with a tube and other items that highlight the long “u” pattern (e.g., cube, tune, mule, cute). Using repetitive, decodable text and supportive illustrations, the book helps beginning readers practice recognizing and reading long-vowel patterns while building confidence and fluency.
