Learn how to read with Dandelion Readers decodable books for beginner readers.

Dandelion Readers, Level 3 Activities are first reader books by Phonic Books which introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. This activity book accompanies Dandelion Readers Vowel Spellings, Level 3 and is perfect for children in Kindergarten and Grade 1 who are learning to read, gradually introducing different vowel spellings through a series of activities.

Two books for every stage provide phonics practice while offering different stories and encouraging independent reading from the start of their journey. Each stage introduces new letters and sounds while supporting any previously taught phonic letters or sounds and high-frequency words or sight words.

For example:
Book 1: Jake the Snake (/ae/: 'ai', 'ay', 'a', 'a-e', 'ea')
Book 2: The Stream (/ee/: 'ee', 'e', 'ea', 'y')
Book 3: Toad in a Hole (/oa/: 'oa', 'o', 'ow', 'oe', 'o-e')
Book 4: Surfing (/er/: 'ur', 'er', 'ir', 'or', 'ear')

What is phonics?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read by understanding the sounds that individual letters make and blending them to make a word. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specializes in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
