They are sound out books that start with just a few phonics rules. Each following Step of books adds a few more phonics rules and sight words. This gradual progression lets kids learn to read without feeling so overwhelmed. The word list below will help you decide where in the series your child should start. For added practice, free printable game boards, flashcards, handwriting sheets, and more can be downloaded from dogonalogbooks (dot) com. The (purple) Let's GO! books have less text for new or less confident readers. The (red) chapter books are longer for more reading practice. Kids enjoy these stories that get more complex and longer as more phonics are added throughout the series. Books can be purchased individually or as collection volumes. This is a collection volume of five Step 1 Chapter Books. Additional information on using this series is available in the e-book HOW TO USE DECODABLE BOOKS TO TEACH READING. DOG ON A LOG Books follow a structured literacy/Orton Gillingham phonics progression. DOG ON A LOG "What Step Should We Start With" Word List Have your child read the following words.
