Publisher's Synopsis
Learn how to read with Dandelion Launchers Extras decodable books for beginner readers.
Dandelion Launchers Extras Stages 16-20 Reading and Writing Activities comprises ten books and is aimed at children in Pre-K and Kindergarten. This series takes children on a carefully structured progression, introducing the spellings 'tch' and 've' and simple two-syllable words.

What is phonics?
Phonics is a way of teaching children to read by understanding the sounds that letters make and blending them to make a word. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specializes in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
