Books can be purchased individually or as collection volumes. This is a collection volume of five Step 4 Chapter Books. Research shows the most effective way to teach reading is with explicit systematic phonics. That means you teach just a few phonics rules then the student practices reading books with just the rules they have been taught. Each DOG ON A LOG Book also has a list of the "sight words" that cannot be sounded-out with the presented phonics. Kids can learn those words before beginning each book. The listed sight words will be the only words in the book that cannot be sounded-out with the rules from the DOG ON A LOG Phonics Progression. Many early reader books, leveled books, and even "Beginning Phonics Books" are written so they cannot be sounded-out. Kids often struggle when they can't sound out the words. However, kids who have been taught the phonics in DOG ON A LOG Decodable Books can be proud when they can read most words. Additional information on using this series is available in the e-book DOG ON A LOG Books follow a structured literacy/Orton Gillingham phonics progression. Have your child read the following words. If they can't read every word in a Step, that is probably the step they should start with.
