Grounded in the Science of Reading and designed in consultation with Orton-Gillingham trained literacy specialist Marisa Ware , the Charge into Reading Decodable Readers take the guesswork out of learning to read! Now UFLI Aligned and Listed on the UFLI Decodable Text Guide The Short Vowel Beginning Reader Set is perfect for children who know their letter sounds and have the stamina to begin decoding or "sounding out" longer books than those found in the Charge into Reading Beginning Letters Short Vowel Decodable Reader Set . Each book in the set focuses on a single short vowel sound, building reading confidence one sound at a time and preparing readers to begin mixing short vowel sounds in the CVC Words Decodable Reader Set . Compelling storylines paired with a strict Scope and Sequence make for a series that children won't just be ABLE to read, but that they will actually WANT to read. Five short-vowel-specific decodable books with a true beginning, middle, and end that a beginning reader can ACTUALLY read Pat Had a Hat: Short A Ten Hens: Short E Swim, Tim: Short I Hop, Frog: Short O Run, Pug: Short U Simple sentences: The bugs run in the sun. Jen fell in the pen. Sid flips his fins. Only 5 sight (high-frequency) words: a, oh, the, to, was 73 unique short vowel words 8 pages of short-vowel-specific literacy activities per book enable parents or small groups to transition seamlessly from reading to practicing literacy skills. Please note: CVC words that focus on a single vowel sound alone cannot create a quality 14-page story that is challenging enough for a child who already knows their letter sounds and is ready to begin decoding longer, more complex books. For this reason, our short vowel decodable readers contain a select few consonant blends and digraphs that adhere to the select vowel sound. This is the only set where such an exception is made to future spelling patterns. Written by best-selling children’s book author Brooke Vitale, every book in the Charge into Reading series is fully vetted by LETRS, Top Ten Tools, and Orton-Gillingham-trained reading specialist and executive function coach Marisa Ware, MSEd. Charge into Reading Decodable Books support any reading program, growing WITH your child to keep them entertained, engaged, and eager to keep reading! We believe in complete transparency. That’s why our Scope and Sequence lists every word in every book. Download it today! Not sure what your child’s reading level is?

Nice, simple illustrations that are easy to understand depictions to go along with the words - not too much nor too little. Very minimal wording per page. These are stage 1 "short vowel sounds" and looking at the level just under and above this one, they look like tongue twisters. This set seems much more easy to read without the tongue twisters and probably more so because the vowel sounds are emphasized by having several words in these short sentences with matching vowel sounds. Looking back over those now, I'm glad I picked this set! I would recommend for those who are just learning to read, even if they can't yet, or who are sounding out letters but not quite reading. Even for those who can read a few words, I think this would be great to build confidence! Reasonable price for 5 @ $13.48. Review: Perfect for kids who already know the letter sounds - I started with hooked on phonics. I ordered these to expand the library of books she can read herself. I canceled hooked on phonics almost immediately. These books capture her attention and keep her reading & they're much cheaper. I'll be ordering stage B shortly. I love how they break it up into small sections like Beginning reading, vowel sounds & consonant blends. Hooked on phonics was a great start but it moves slowly. My grandaughter was getting bored so I ordered these to keep her interested. 2nd grandaughter just came in Nov. I'll do the same thing. Basics with hooked on phonics & then move on. Adults can tell when they're little ones have gotten it. Then its time to move on to bigger challenges & these books are the perfect next step so they don't get bored. In short I'll keep using the other sets as she advances. If I were a better teacher, we might not have needed hooked on phonics at all but these are great. Teaching little ones is an art form & it skipped me.

Great Readers
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!

Great into to reading
These books are amazing for those who are just starting to read. I got these for my 4 year old who is in Young 5s. She picked up on reading these the very first time! It made me a super proud mom watching my 4 year old read because of these books. I don’t leave reviews often, but I had to for these. Definitely recommend!

Great choice for kiddos building CVC reading skills and starting to work with blends
Great choice after the beginning letter sounds series. I would not start with these books as an intro/ first text. These 5 books feature a few sight words, and/ or blends, digraphs, double consonants (including ck), and letter s pronounced /z/. They feel like a better fit after your new reader has practice with simpler CVC texts. But the stories are fun and engaging and a great fit for emerging new readers.

Wonderful reading tools!
My daughter was struggling a lot and could barely read at the end of first grade. I ordered these books and went back to the basics with her this summer. After only about a month, she’s really taken off with reading! These books gave her confidence and something just clicked.

Great resource
I bought Stage 1 for my daughter who is in preschool. Pictures and stories are clear and well thought out. I love the activities at the end of the story, feels like kids get a full lesson in one book. I am so happy to have found these books and will be purchasing the next stages.

Beautiful Decodables
I have purchased the first 5 stages of these decodable texts and my students love them! Each stage is carefully sequenced so children can practise their phonics skills. There are five books in Stage 1 and each text focuses on one short vowel sound. Most of the words are consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC). As a reading intervention teacher, I love the font used in these books - the letters (and words) are nicely spaced which is always helpful for beginning readers. These books are also the perfect size for little hands (15cm x 15cm). Highly recommended!

A must have.
This is truly a great set to have. I love that the fonts are of good size and the book size is perfect for little hands. Kudos to the illustrator for lovely images. If only there can be ten sets of books in each stage. I purchased Stage 1 to 3 and planning to get all the other stages very shortly.
