Learn to Read Phonics Reader (Two-Story Collection): ‘Mud’ & ‘Up On Top’ — Decodable Stories for Beginning Readers (Beginning Readers – Red Ladybug Level)

A Book for Every Beginning Reader Over 60 pages of fun and engaging decodable content, featuring 2 separate stories! This book contains only 14 sight words: the, a, is, has, am, to, do, man, can, I, an, and, his, was. All other words need to be “sounded out” (decoded), ensuring no guessing and helping your child build true reading confidence from the start. ‘Red Ladybug’ Level 1 is perfect for kindergarten and Grade 1 children who have some experience blending and sounding out consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words with the “easier” vowels (a, o, & i). With over 60 pages, this book features two stories. It introduces the short u-vowel sound (as in ‘sun’) while building on foundational phonics skills of the “easier” vowels (a, o, & i). Examples of words your learner may practice reading within the stories include “map,” “had,” “sit,” “pig,” “got,” “hop,” “sun,” and “bus,” among others, providing plenty of opportunities to build phonics skills. Two Fun and Engaging Stories in One Book! ‘Mud’: Cub is fond of playing… in the mud. Dad is protective of his little cub, but somehow ends up having “fun” too! Discover how in this decodable phonics book! ‘Up On Top’: Pig is proud of his “bus.” Pig has gas, a trip planned, and one very unexpected passenger. Will Pig’s bus make it to its destination? Uncover the answer in this decodable phonics book! Beyond the 14 sight words, every other word in this book is fully decodable. Aligned with the Science of Reading (SoR) principles, the ‘Red Ladybug’ levels systematically help children read stories at their level, building confidence and preparing them for further success.
