5 books in 1! Each Book has 260-470 words. The DOG ON A LOG Book series help kids, including kids with dyslexia, learn to read. 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 helps kids learn to read without feeling so overwhelmed. New readers love reading books that look like "regular" books. They especially love that they get to read "real chapter books." Having multiple chapter books in each Step means struggling readers are more likely to master the phonics without memorizing the books. Start anywhere in the series based on your child's reading skills. The word list below will help you decide where in the series your child should start. Information on printable activities is provided in each book.
