About DOG ON A LOG Books:

• The series progresses in Steps. Each Step of books introduces a few more phonics rules.
• The stories get longer and more complex with each new step of phonics.
• Kids love that they get to read REAL chapter books that need a bookmark.
• Students should be taught the phonics and High Frequency Words in each book prior to reading. This allows them to use their skills to sound-out and READ the words. They will have no need to guess any words.
• Written with a Systematic Phonics, Orton-Gillingham, Science of Reading-based phonics sequence.
• Print books optimized for dyslexia with cream-colored paper, large Verdana font, and extra spacing.

This is an individual Step 8 chapter book. Books can be purchased individually or as collection volumes.

• (Blue) DOG ON A LOG Get Ready! Readers help students learn the letters and blending words.
• (Teal) DOG ON A LOG Get Set! Books offer more practice of three-letter words with a middle short vowel.
• (Purple) DOG ON A LOG Let’s GO! Readers tell the same stories, but have fewer words than the chapter books. They help prepare kids who are not ready for the longer chapter books.
• (Red) DOG ON A LOG chapter books gradually introduce more phonics rules and allow students to work towards mastery of the phonics skills.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

My child needed an ongoing supply of systematic, decodable phonics books that can be used with an Orton Gillingham or Science of Reading approach. Finding such books that provided enough reading practice for each Step of phonics proved to be a nearly impossible task so I decided to write them myself. I knew other families were as desperate as I had been for this type of series so I decided to publish them.My daughter's tutors helped me learn about evidence-based reading instruction and have taught me so much about effective methods of reading instruction.DOG ON A LOG Books can be used for any new reader. My message to parents of struggling readers: There was a time when I did not think my daughter with dyslexia would learn to read. Now she reads better than most American adults. It took years, but with good instruction, a lot of hard word, and my DOG ON A LOG Decodable books, she learned to read.
