DOG ON A LOG Decodable Text

for Dictation
I have learned that many teachers and librarians do not have access to lists of
decodable (aka Sound-Out) words or sentences as they are teaching their students to
read. As a mom, and especially as a mom to a child with dyslexia, this frustrates me.
I have selected about five sentences from each of my DOG ON A LOG decodable
chapter books and included them in this FREE printable along with lists of decodable
words. They are grouped together so that there are about 25 sentences and numerous
words for each of the Steps of my Phonics Progression (aka Scope and Sequence.)
Scientific Research shows that the most effective way of teaching reading is with
explicit systematic phonics. The student is taught the sounds we attribute to a letter
or groups of letters and they are taught how to blend them together into words. They
are then taught a few more phonics rules, then a few more. This gradual Step by Step
instruction allows them to gain mastery a bit at a time.
For more information on teaching the essential Pre-Reading skills, including letter
sounds and blending letters into words, you can consult DOG ON A LOG Pup Books:
Book 1: Before the Squiggle Code (A Roadmap to Reading,) starts at the very
beginning of the learning to read process: it helps the learner hear the smallest sounds
in words. Relevant excerpts from Teaching a Struggling Reader: One Mom’s
Experience with Dyslexia are also included to help parents with children who are
struggling to read.
Book 2: The Squiggle Code (Letters Make Words,) helps the learner discover that
each sound has a letter or letters and when the letters are put together, they make
words. This is when reading begins.
Book 3: Kids’ Squiggles (Letters Make Words) The stories from The Squiggle
Code are formatted with pictures and less words per page so they are less intimidating
to new readers.
For information on teaching reading with evidence-based explicit systematic phonics,
you can read the FREE Booklet How to Use Decodable Books to Teach Reading.
https://dogonalogbooks.com/how-to-use/
The document is formatted with average-sized letters for teachers who want to dictate
the words and sentences to their students using less paper. The identical material is
available with larger letters to make it easier for students to read the decodable text.
Happy Reading, Pamela Brookes
