    About this ebook

    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 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. If they can't read every word in a Step, that is probably the step they should start with. For some kids, you may want to start at an earlier Step so they can build confidence in their reading ability.

     

    Step 1
    fin, mash, sock, sub, cat, that, Dan's

    Step 2
    less, bats, tell, mall, chips, whiff, falls

    Step 3
    bangs, dank, honk, pings, chunk, sink, gong, rungs

    Step 4

    silk, fluff, smash, krill, drop, slim, whisk

    Step 5
    hunch, crate, rake, tote, inch, mote, lime

    Step 6

    child, molts, fold, hind, jolt, post, colds

    Step 7
    strive, scrape, splint, twists, crunch, prints, blend

    Step 8
    finish, denim, within, bathtub, sunset, medic, habit

    Step 9
    hundred, goldfinch, free, wheat, inhale, play, Joe

    Step 10
    be, remake, spry, repeat, silo, sometime, pinwheel

     

    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 in DOG ON A LOG Books can be proud when they are able to sound out and read almost every word.

     

    E-books have color images and the font size can be changed to your preference.

    Pamela Brookes

    My child needed an ongoing supply of progressive phonics books that use an Orton-Gllingham approach. This proved to be a nearly impossible, expensive task.   I decided to put my talents to use and simply write books for her. She is learning to read using an Orton-Gillingham approach. These books follow a gentle progression of phonics rules. DOG ON A LOG Books have five books at each step to allow for practice, repetition, and enjoyment.   I want to share our books with new readers and their families. I also want to make them affordable. Since every family will have different needs and different budgets, I am making the books available in both digital and paper editions. They can be purchased as individual books or collections of five same-step books in one volume. Paperbacks have black and white images. They are optimized for dyslexic learners with cream colored paper and Verdana font. The digital books all have color pictures.    As our reading journey progresses I will continue to write books for my daughter and to share them with other families.   I was not going to include artwork because drawing is not my talent. However, my daughter was adamant she wanted her books to include pictures. I am grateful to the artists who have made their images available for public domain uses. These sweet images give my daughter a break when the reading is challenging.   I hope other new readers will be entertained by these stories as they practice, and master, each step of their reading journey.
