A phonic series for beginner readers

Dandelion World Sample Set

Aimed at children aged 3-8, each book introduces only a few letter/sounds at a time allowing independent reading from the outset.
These high-interest nonfiction topics parallel the existing Dandelion Launchers series and cover the alphabet letter sounds, double consonants, and consonant blends and digraphs. Each book introduces only a few letter sounds at a time, allowing independent reading from the outset. Two books in each stage provide practice while offering different stories.
