Stage 1: Short Vowel

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!

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!

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!

Great for beginning readers. These are cute and follow the science of reading. My grandson, who struggles with reading, has benefited from this series.

We absolutely love this set of books & it’s been a game changer! Our son won’t stop reading them, we see him very interested & confident since the time we got these books. Every night before bed it’s a routine for him to read all the books one by one. So glad we got these. Please get this book if your child has just begun to read!

My grandson feels very confident when using these decodable books and has made great strides with CVC words.

This is an excellent set of decodable books for beginning readers. My son loved being able to sound out words independently. The stories are entertaining and higher quality than any other decodable book we've read. The endings are often unexpected, in the best way! I taught kindergarten and 1st grade for 12 years, and these books are exactly what beginning readers need to practice with in order to gain confidence in their reading skills.

My 4 year old loves these! She has already been able to recite 3 of the books after first reading them.

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.
