Description

When Sam comes home to find her beloved cat, Dot, missing, she calls her pals to start the search. With the help of her friends, along with their pets, will they be able to track down Dot? 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 the digraphs ch and ng.

Critical Reviews

The titles in this set are designed for emergent readers aged three to four. Each book includes consistent front matter with strategies for parent support before, during, and after reading. While this guidance encourages adult involvement, the effectiveness is limited by the simplistic nature of the content. The bright illustrations are reminiscent of early concept books, appealing to young readers but lacking the depth to fully engage them. The large print and sparse text may aid emergent readers, but the minimalism can result in flat narratives that fail to capture children's imaginations. VERDICT These books offer foundational skills, but they need richer narratives and more engaging illustrations to stand out in the growing market of decodables for very young readers.-- "School Library Journal"
