Stage 1: Short Vowels

I have homeschooled my children for over 18 years. My last child has down syndrome and is non verbal. I wanted to get her used to using her Proloquo2go to read stories and also to help her learn short cvc words. I can tell you that the stories are perfect in length. The catch my daughters attention and the graphics are great. Here is the important thing! When teaching phonics you need to hear the words over and over again. There is just the right amount of times these cvc words are repeated in the stories. This will allow my daughter to learn the words better because of the amount of times they are repeated. She has to hit the button in Proloquo2go as I read the story to her. I can ask her who was the girl or boy in the story and about the story using the books as well. Non verbal children and children who can speak will love learning from these books. Mom's will not fall alseep reading these readers either! The Charge Into Reading Decodable Readers short vowel readers a,e,i,o, and u are just the right length in the story so you don't loose the childs attention. My daughter is 20 years old and the graphics in these books are perfect for special needs children and adults can learn to read from them too! They are well thought out and in the front of the books are the list of the words you will be reading in the books. You can make flash cards and have the children match the words with the story in the books. They can point to the words in the books as you ask questions and so you also build literacy as well as learning to read. The two go hand in hand! words in the stories are also the right size for young readers. Love these readers and will get more in the future! Enjoy them they are well worth the buying!

I usually don't write many reviews, but I really LOVE these books so wanted to come and give 5 stars & share why I love these books.They are just perfect for my kindergartener during summer break before he starts first grade. The words are not too hard, these books boosts his confidence in reading, & they're just the perfect length too...they're really quite enjoyable for him...even the illustrations are cute!I plan to buy all of the series as he progresses. A big thank you to the author and illustrator for these!I hope others can find this author's series as I think these can be very helpful for kids learning to read as they make for great reading practice.Please Keep More Books Coming!

After using the Bob books for years in my Prek and Kindergarten classroom we finally found an upgrade! An upgrade I didn’t know we needed! Now as a homeschool mom and a reading tutor, my students are finding these new decodable readers so fun and engaging. Before you get started reading, you have a list of all the words in the book, plus high frequency words so you can review them before reading. The pictures are colorful and rich and the text is a great repetition of words. The best part is the fun phonemic awareness activities at the end of each story. You’re really getting a whole lesson in one book. I love how the author/ creator of these series broke up each set. That is something I did not have with the Bob books. In set one you have all the short vowel sounds. So you have a book to follow up each lesson. I highly recommend this series of readers! It’s such a wonderful upgrade to any classroom, homeschool or family library!

We absolutely love this set of books & it’s been a game changer! Our son won’t stop reading them, we see him very interested & confident since the time we got these books. Every night before bed it’s a routine for him to read all the books one by one. So glad we got these. Please get this book if your child has just begun to read!

These decodable books are a great resource for use at school and home for emerging readers. All words are phonetically regular and can align your phonics scope and sequence. The book sets move from simple phonics patterns to more complex. The illustrations are fun and storylines are engaging. I highly recommend added these books to your decodable collections at school and home.

These books really helped my daughter, they were recommended by her kindergarten teacher. Highly highly recommend for beginners

The media could not be loaded. Bought this series for my grandchildren who are 3 & 5. When my kids were younger, I had a series of books just like this and they loved them. Made it so easy to teach them to read!What I like best about these books are the reinforcement of “like” words, the diversity of characters and the activities at the end of the book.Highly recommend

This is an excellent set of decodable books for beginning readers. My son loved being able to sound out words independently. The stories are entertaining and higher quality than any other decodable book we've read. The endings are often unexpected, in the best way! I taught kindergarten and 1st grade for 12 years, and these books are exactly what beginning readers need to practice with in order to gain confidence in their reading skills.
