The Ship With Wings Chapter Book

DOG ON A LOG Books help kids, including kids with dyslexia, learn to read by adding a few more phonics rules and sight words at each step of books. The word list below will help you decide where in the series your child should start. For added practice, free printable game boards, flashcards, handwriting sheets, and more can be downloaded from dogonalogbooks.com.
The (purple) Let's GO! books have less text for less confident readers. The (red) chapter books are longer for more reading practice. Kids enjoy these stories that get more complex and longer as more phonics are added throughout the series.
Books can be purchased individually or as collection volumes. This is an individual Step 3 Chapter Book.
Additional information on using this series is available in the e-book HOW TO USE DECODABLE BOOKS TO TEACH READING. It can be read for free at dogonalogbooks.com/free.
DOG ON A LOG Books follow a structured literacy/Orton Gillingham phonics progression.

Paper books have black and white images. The books are optimized for learners with dyslexia. They have cream colored paper and large Verdana font. Research has shown Verdana is one of the most dyslexia-friendly fonts.
