Learn to Read Phonics Reader (Fox on the Box): StoryTails Beginning Reader (Beginning Readers – Orange Pumpkin Level)

A Book for Every Beginning Reader
This book contains only 9 different sight words: the, a, is, has, am, to, do, man, can. All other words need to be “sounded out” (decoded). This helps ensure no guessing and builds true reading confidence and skills from the start. Perfect for students who need practice or have some experience in sounding out/blending words. Orange Pumpkin Level 2 adds the ‘o’ vowel sound (along with ‘a’ and ‘i’ from Level 1), enhancing your learners’ phonics decoding skills and confidence. Examples of words your learner may practice are “got,” “hop,” “map,” “sit,” “bat,” and “pig.”

“Fox on the Box” is perfect for the beginning reader.
A silly fox hops on his box, and friends join the fun – a cat, an ox, and more. Each hops and taps, creating an exciting animal tower. Until a surprise visitor appears & changes everything. Will the box hold up? Curious? Find out how in this engaging decodable reader.

Two Versions for Extra Fun (and learning): This book contains two versions with the same text, but the second version has a few added surprises. The first version underlines the non-decodable words–the rest of the words need to be “sounded out” (decoded). The second version contains the same text but with a few surprises. None of the non-decodable words are underlined helping kids learn them. Readers may also notice subtle differences in the images, like changes in colors or backgrounds.
