Description

From getting dressed to helping out, it's fun to do things independently. Discover all the tasks a young boy can do, together with his dog, Spot, as he enjoys a day full of responsibility at home and at school. Stairway Decodables is a supplemental phonics resource that's perfect for supporting small group instruction, independent reading, or reading practice at home. This title provides practice in decoding words with initial and final consonant blends.

Critical Reviews

The books in this set intend to support early readers, but frequently do not meet developmental and curricular benchmarks. The stories can feel disorganized, with texts that introduce too many different phonemes at once, making it difficult for young readers to focus on decoding skills. For example, in Pet Tricks, the plot is cluttered with too many characters, making it challenging to follow and distracting from the phonics practice. VERDICT This lack of controlled text and ­focus undermines the series' effectiveness as a decodable reading tool for early literacy.-- "School Library Journal"
