Decodable Books for Beginning Readers
Dandelion World Stages 1-7 (Alphabet Code)
Dandelion World is a parallel series to Dandelion launchers that focuses on nonfiction topics. Each book has a knowledge builder feature for children and adults to read together. This is a fun way to enhance vocabulary and deepen comprehension of books’ content.
These 14 books follow the same scope and sequence as Dandelion Launchers, Stages 1-7, providing practice for the sounds of the alphabet at CVC level text. Aimed at children in Pre-K and Kindergarten, each book introduces only a few letter/sounds at a time allowing independent reading from the outset. This series of books focus on reading letter sounds in CVC words. The 14 book series has seven stages with two books at each stage. Each stage introduces new letters/sounds while supporting previously taught skills. The first books have words using the sounds s, a, t, i, and m. Later books continue to use these sounds, while gradually introducing new sounds.
