  • The Push Truck: Systematic Decodable Books Help Developing Readers, including Those with Dyslexia, Learn to Read with Phonics

    Pamela Brookes

    eBook (DOG ON A LOG Books, Oct. 14, 2017)
    Finally, a delightful book series that helps kids learn phonics rules step by step. Fun books designed for anyone learning to read with phonics, especially learners with dyslexia. Start anywhere in the series, according to your child's reading level. All DOG ON A LOG Books follow a Structured Literacy/Orton-Gillingham based phonics sequence. Gameboards, flashcards, and other activities can be downloaded from www.dogonalogbooks.com.Let's GO! Books have less text and build confidence towards the same title Chapter Book.To see if this book is the correct level for your child, you can use the "Look Inside" feature. There is a longer preview of a Step 4 book visible on the 'Five Let's GO! Books 4' detail page. Jan has a push truck. Her legs push and her truck goes.Sight Words:a, goes, has, have, he, her, his, into, is, like, my, of, push, says, she, the, there, they, to, want, we, would, youAbout 140 total words This is a Step 4 Let’s GO! book. The DOG ON A LOG Books series are for phonics readers and folks with dyslexia. They are Decodable books which means a learner who has been taught the phonics rules and the limited sight words in that book can sound them out and read them. The words used reflect the inclusion of 1 to 3 new phonics rules in each step. There are five books at each step.The chapter books are written in a chapter format with one picture in most chapters. They are longer, have more detail, and sometimes offer more complexity than the Let's GO! Books. They're great for practicing known and newly introduced phonics rules. They're also just fun reading.DOG ON A LOG Let's GO! Books are shorter versions of DOG ON A LOG Chapter books. Let's GO! books tell the same stories with about 8 pictures and only a few sentences per page. They're perfect as an introduction to the new phonics rules or simply for fun reading for younger kids.Please note: The language in decodable books may sound awkward compared to normal speech and writing. The more limited the phonics and vocabulary, the more awkward it may seem. For example, in Step 1 books there is no suffix -s and especially no -ed. This makes writing verbs particularly awkward and unusual. The upside is this encourages students to read through each word and decode every word on every page.
