    About this ebook

    Finally, a delightful book series that helps kids learn phonics rules step by step. Fun and engaging 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 dogonalogbooks (dot) com.


    Let's GO! Books have less text and build confidence towards the same title Chapter Book.

    This collection is the five books in Step 4 of the DOG ON A LOG Let's GO! book series.
    The books are:

    --The Push Truck
    --The Sand Hill
    --Lil Tilt And Mr. Ling
    --Musk Ox In The Tub
    --Trip To The Pond

    Sight Words:
    a, are, as, be, do, for, from, go, goes, has, have, he, her, here, his, I, into, is, like, Mr., my, of, push, say, says, see, sees, she, should, the, there, they, to, want, was, we, what, would, you

    Each book has about 110 to 140 words.

    These are Step 4 Let's GO! Books. 

    Decodable books let a learner who has been taught the phonics rules and sight words in that book sound them out and read them. These are systematic books because each Step of books build on the skills practiced in the prior Steps.

    Most kids who read DOG ON A LOG Books are proud that they can finally read a book without so much frustration.

    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.
