This book has about 5,600 words.
The DOG ON A LOG Book series helps 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.
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. For added practice, free printable game boards, flashcards, handwriting sheets, and more can be downloaded from the DOG ON A LOG Books website.
The (purple) Let's GO! books have fewer words 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 an individual Step 10 Chapter Book.
Additional information on using this series is available in the digital book HOW TO USE DECODABLE BOOKS TO TEACH READING.
DOG ON A LOG Books follow an Orton Gillingham/systematic-phonics progression.

Many early reader books or leveled books are written so they cannot be sounded out. Kids often struggle and grow frustrated when they can't sound out the words. However, kids who have been taught the phonics and sight words in DOG ON A LOG Books can be proud when they are able to sound out and read almost every word.
Paper books are optimized for learners with dyslexia. They have cream colored paper, black and white images, and large Verdana font. Research has shown Verdana is one of the most dyslexia-friendly fonts.
