These are systematic books because each Step of books build on the skills practiced in the prior Steps.Many early reader books or leveled books cannot be sounded out so kids often struggle and grow frustrated when they cannot sound out the words. However, kids who have been taught the phonics in DOG ON A LOG Books can be proud when they actually sound out and read almost every word. Paperbacks have black and white images. The books are optimized for learners with dyslexia. They have cream colored paper and 20-point Verdana font. Research has shown Verdana is one of the most dyslexia-friendly fonts.DOG ON A LOG “What Step Should We Start With” Assessment ToolTo help you figure out what Step of DOG ON A LOG Books might be the best starting point for your child, have them read the following lists of words. Start with Step 1. If they get all of the words correct, go on to Step 2. Continue until they reach a Step where they miss one or more words. That is the Step you should probably start with. If they struggle with this Step, you can always move back a Step.Or you may want to start with a Step where your child is able to read the complete set of words.
