There are a lot of children (and adults) who struggle with reading. Some are helped by their schools, some are not. In this short booklet, Pamela Brookes shares some of the basic information she wishes she'd had when she was first trying to figure out how to help her child learn to read. Teaching A Struggling Reader: One Mom's Experience with Dyslexia is filled with links to informational and product resources for parents or teachers. It is geared to people who want to educate themselves in the methods that are effective in teaching those with dyslexia. It also contains photos demonstrating basic techniques like "Tapping" (using one's fingers to aid in sounding out words) and "Making your bed" to differentiate between "b" and "d." This Third Edition includes new information and new links including the social and economic impacts of illiteracy. It also contains information on Early Intervention, including what parents can do if they suspect their young child may have dyslexia during the toddler and preschool years, and a section on What if It's NOT Dyslexia. This is a booklet that can be read in one sitting. However, there are ample links to provide an even greater experience. The hyperlinks are active in the e-book format. All DOG ON A LOG Books follow a systematic, structured literacy/Orton-Gillingham based phonics sequence.

Sixty-five percent of U.S. fourth graders are not proficient readers because their teachers have not been taught how to teach reading using evidence-based methods. Up to 20% of children have dyslexia. Few receive the individualized teaching they need from their schools. To help parents and teachers who want to teach their children using an evidence-based, effective method, Pamela Brookes, the mother of a child with dyslexia, discusses their daily routine as she teaches her daughter to read using the decodable DOG ON A LOG Books series. As the author of DOG ON A LOG Books, Pamela also shares how to choose where in the series to start. She shares how she teaches each of the phonics rules used in the book series along with the reasons for teaching the syllable types and handwriting. Although this booklet is meant to guide parents and teachers using DOG ON A LOG Books, the information can be adapted and applied to any systematic series of decodable books. How to Use Decodable Books to Teach Reading is edited by Dr. Nancy Mather, a professor in learning disabilities, reading, and writing to make sure it follows the scientific research on teaching reading. This edition includes information on Steps 1 to 10 of the DOG ON A LOG phonics rules. Additional steps will be added as the future decodable chapter books are created. All DOG ON A LOG Books follow a structured literacy/Orton-Gillingham based phonics sequence.

The DOG ON A LOG Book series helps kids, including kids with dyslexia, learn to read. They are sound out books that start with just a few phonics rules. Each following Step of books adds a few more phonics rules and sight words. This gradual progression lets kids learn to read without feeling so overwhelmed. The word list below will help you decide where in the series your child should start. For added practice, free printable game boards, flashcards, handwriting sheets, and more can be downloaded from dogonalogbooks (dot) com.

This is a collection volume of five Step 1 Chapter Books. Additional information on using this series is available in the e-book HOW TO USE DECODABLE BOOKS TO TEACH READING.
