As always, they put their heads together and discover the clues fit together to form a mysterious riddle, one that requires them to manipulate the sounds within words. Led by the friendly Switch-a-Roo, the gang solves a series of riddles all over Letter Lagoon, leading to a reunion with some old friends, and an amazing discovery!

Practice a different skill in each book, then play the fun, multisensory activities in the back to reinforce the skill. A fun phonics activity asks children to hunt for letters and objects within the colorful illustrations. Captain Ray and the Rhyming Pirates practices rhyming. Rhyming words are words that have the same middle and end sounds. For example, bat rhymes with hat because they both end with the sounds /at/. Alex, Eddie, Izzy, Olly, and Umber are the Alpha-Maniacs, five adventurous friends who live in the magical Letter Lagoon. Out of the blue, a band of bumbling pirates sail ashore, seeking help with a treasure map they've found. The pirates speak only in rhyme, and they have no idea how to go about finding treasure. The clever kids jump at the chance to train the clumsy buccaneers in all aspects of being proper pirates, setting the stage for many exciting adventures to come.
