This is a Step 2 Let's GO! book.

The DOG ON A LOG Books series are for phonics readers and folks with a dyslexic learning style. 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. They are systematic because one Step of books follows another. The words used reflect the inclusion of 1 to 3 new phonics rules in each Step. Each Step of books builds on the skills practiced in the prior Steps. 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.

Most kids who read DOG ON A LOG Books are over-the-moon-proud that they can finally read a book without so much frustration. This builds confidence in struggling readers. Their parents are excited that, along with reading sight words, their kids can decode every word on every page. With each progressing Step the readers gain more confidence as the vocabulary, grammar, and stories become more complex and they see their skills and abilities growing with the books.

DOG ON A LOG Books Phonics Progression

Step 1



Consonants, primary sounds



Short vowels



Digraphs: ch, sh, th, wh, ck



2 and 3 sound words



Possessive 's











Step 2





Bonus letters (f, l, s, z after short vowel)



"all"



-s suffix











Step 3





ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk











Step 4





Consonant Blends to make 4 sound words



3 and 4 sound words ending in -lk, -sk











Step 5





Digraph blends -nch to make 3 and 4 sound words



Silent e, including "-ke"











Step 6





ild, old, olt, ind, ost











Step 7





5 sounds in a closed syllable word plus suffix -s (crunch, slumps)



3 letter blends and up to 6 sounds in a closed syllable word (script, spring)











Step 8





Two syllable words with 2 closed syllables, not blends (sunset, chicken, unlock)











Paperbacks have black and white images. The books are optimized for learners with dyslexia. They have cream colored paper and 22 point Verdana font. Research has shown Verdana is one of the most dyslexia-friendly


My child needed an ongoing supply of systematic phonics books that use an Orton-Gillingham approach. Finding them proved to be a nearly impossible, expensive task so I decided to write them myself.



I want to share our books with new readers and their families. I also want to make them affordable. All books are available in both digital and paper editions. The most cost-effective version is a digital collection of five same-step books. The paperback version of the five book collections is a bit more, but is still a lot less expensive than buying the individual paper books. Due to production costs, the individual paperbacks are the most expensive way to buy these books. However, these books give kids a chance to hold a book and say, "I read this WHOLE book." Since every family will have different needs and different budgets, I am making the books available in multiple formats. All the paperbacks have black and white pictures to keep prices down. 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 that is not my talent. However, my daughter was adamant she wanted her books to include pictures. I may not be able to draw, but I can photoshop. I thoroughly enjoy adapting public domain images to each story. 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.

Reviews

Lynne E. Jaffee, PHD, co-author: Woodcock-Johnson IV: Reports, Recommendations, and Strategies (2016), and Comprehensive Evaluations: Case Reports for Psychologists, Diagnosticians, and Special Educators (2011): In the 45 years that I have been teaching students with dyslexia, I'm always looking for reading material. Pamela Brookes has created DOG ON A LOG Chapter Books that follow an incremental, phonics-based pattern and work well with Orton-Gillingham based programs. Ms. Brookes' books will be a great asset to educational therapists, parents, and special education teachers in their work with children and adults with dyslexia.
