Charge into Reading Decodable Books (Stage 1): 5 Short Vowel Decodable Readers to Help Kindergarten and First Grade Beginning Readers Learn to Read (One Short Vowel Sound Per Book)

Love this Charge into Reading Stage 1 Decodable Book Set! It includes 5 short vowel readers that are perfect for early learners. The stories are engaging, easy to follow, and designed to help kids master phonics and decoding skills. High-quality pages, clear print, and just the right length for beginner readers. Great for homeschool, classroom, or extra practice at home. Excellent value for money—I highly recommend for parents and teachers looking to build strong reading foundations!

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!

I have 3 six year olds and they lived these books. Perfect for them to practice reading and deciphering. They are all on different levels and this is challenging enough for them but also helps them build their reading confidence.

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!

Cute 5-book-set! 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.

Wonderful, Just what I was looking for to teach grandchild, 5 years old to read, 10 minutes five different books, within 1 week able to read on their own, these books also contain a lesson at the end,we have focused on short vowel sounds, I am very pleased with the outcome, very happy

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.

My son has trouble with reading but these books are helping him. It seems to be helping his actual reading skills and his confidence in reading.

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.

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!

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.
