"The Dog on a Log book series are sound out books that help kids, including kids with dyslexia, learn to read. They start with just a few phonics rules. Each following Step of books adds a few more phonics rules. This gradual progression helps kids learn to read without feeling so overwhelmed. The stories get more complex and longer as more phonics are added in each new Step. Start anywhere in the series based on your child's reading ability. DOG ON A LOG Books follow a structured literacy/Orton-Gillingham based phonics progression."--Page 4 of cover
