Charge into Reading Decodable Books (Stage 2): 5 Consonant Blends Decodable Readers to Help Kindergarten and First Grade Beginning Readers Learn to Read (One Blend Type Per Book)

I got this for my 4 year old, who is learning to read. We love these books. She is working on her blends and I like that each book focuses on a different type of blend. The stories are interesting, cute artwork, and the perfect level for her reading. Not too easy, and not too long of sentences. I love that they include some activities in the back of the book for more literacy practice!

I started out using the first set of Charge Into Reading books (which reinforces short vowel sounds) with my son who is four. When he started to feel really confident reading from those, I ordered this set which introduces consonant blends. It has been really wonderful to have interesting decodable readers to go along with our homeschool reading instruction. I really appreciate that this are visually appealing and have interesting stories as they seem to hold my son’s attention and he actually gets excited to read them and do the additional activities in the back. I definitely recommend them for home or classroom learning!

we are doing consanant blends & the way the have the books, first they teach the new new words, 2nd read the story & 3rd it works backwards with the words to teach spelling. My grandaughter thinks the last section is games but at 5 1/2 these boojs have been an amazing first step into reading. Ivplan on going all the way to the 10th set of books. The stories are kid friendly, they teach then reinfore the new words with a cute story & then turn into small "spelling" games. Icthink there are 6 or 7 pages of quick small sections to rwview & reinforce steps 1 & 2. I taught my son also& used mostly dr. suess but these are better. Buy em for you 4-6 yr olds & teach them young the joy of reading. My grandaughter gets excited at reading time. Hooked on phonics is good but slow paced. Itsgreat for learning the letter sounds & to start but my grandaughter was bored woth it. I ordered the 1st set of books & she loved them.

I am a special education teacher who works with students with dyslexia everyday. When my own daughter entered Kindergarten it was extremely important for me to get my own budding reader into decodable books. For her, it was important to feel like she was reading a “real” book. These books follow OG principles and have great illustrations. I highly recommend them for a home or school setting!

This is our second set of decodable books from Charge Into Reading. My 5 year old son loves reading these books! His confidence is growing as a reader because he has the skills to read every word. He really loved "The Bump," which had a very cute and surprising ending! I highly recommend these books.

These are the best decodable readers for kids. My son is in kindergarten and it is amazing to have books at home that he can truly read as he learns new skills. Not only are they decodable, but they also all have a storyline. It is nice to read stories rather than lists of words! I simply watch for which new skills my son is learning and then work my way through the stages of readers accordingly. I am also a teacher. We follow the Science of Reading and these are perfect. Once my son works his way through the readers, I will eventually take them to school to use with my students there too.

A perfect book for young readers

I have been teaching first grade for 25 years and have been searching for books my students could read as they learned the code. I purchased this set to give it a try in my classroom. I am very impressed with the quality and the excellent use of the skills for each book. I have appreciated the extra practice these give my students with the sound spelling we are working on. There are also activities at the end of each book and word lists to practice at the front of the book. I went ahead and purchased enough sets for my small group instruction. Thank you so much for an excellent product.

This decodable book helped my child go from guessing words to actually reading them. It was challenging enough to help them learn but not too hard to frustrate them.

Excellent decodable books for beginner readers. I love the story line and simple humour to tickle the young readers.
