The search is over for true decodable readers! The Charge
into Reading Series from Charge Mommy Books entreats
little readers with 59 decodable fiction readers that all have story
plots—making little readers want to return to these delightful little
decodables. Aligned to the Science of Reading and designed with the aid of
Orton-Gillingham trained specialists, these readers take the guesswork out of
teaching reading. Each book in each stage focuses on one reading skill at a
time, creating isolated practice with phonemic skills. There are 11 stages in
this series that start with beginning letter sounds and work up to advanced
spelling patterns.
Stage Pre 1: Beginning Letter Sounds
Stage 1: Short Vowels
Stage 1.5: CVC Words
Stage 2: Consonant Blends
Stage 3: Digraphs
Stage 4: Long Vowel
Stage 5: Word-Ending Spelling Patterns
Stage 6: R-Controlled Vowels
Stage 7: Vowel Teams
Stage 8: Diphthongs
Stage 9: Advanced Spelling Patters
Each stage builds upon the previous readers, and by using
less high-frequency words, students are not introduced to letter combinations
they have not learned. The Let’s Talk Literacy sections at the end of
every book introduce comprehension and reinforce phonics skills. These
activities can be done orally to keep the longevity of these readers. QR codes
on the back cover will take you to free companion resources on the publisher’s
website. The detailed Scope
and Sequence helps you see the specific skills targeted at each stage and
with each reader in this series. The stage 9 Science Readers are NGSS-aligned
and the whole series is aligned to UFLI standards. ~Rebecca
