Book 5 of 33: Phonics, Sight Words & Short Vowel Storybooks (Decodable Readers) K-3 & for children with dyslexia

See all formats and editions

Key Features: Introduce your beginning reader to these easy-to-read phonics-based fun first readers. Larger fonts and short stories help the emerging or dyslexic reader achieve reading success without feeling overwhelmed.

Stories are decodable with short vowel words following a CVC pattern (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) and basic sight words that are introduced at the beginning of each story.

Fun illustrations on pages that have a soothing background color that help visual processing difficulty. These books are perfect for emerging K-2 readers and/or children with dyslexia.

Description: Most books for emerging readers use words with both long and short vowels, which can be confusing for a new reader. These books provide emerging readers the much-needed opportunity to reinforce only short vowel sounds in words, the first steps in early reading, without being exposed to long vowels. Once children know their consonants and short vowel sounds, and can “sound out” words (phonics), they are ready to read these books.

The series gradually increases in the level of reading, going from short and simple stories with a few sight words (Level A 1-10) to more longer stories with more sight words (B 1-15) plots, and finally to longer, complex plots (Level C 1-5). ALL levels are decodable, using words with short vowels.

Words go up from simple CVC patterns (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) “dog, rat, pig”, to more complex blends “stuff, melt, swept”, but since the books still use short vowels and basic sight words, children are able to read them correctly, while enjoying the stories and illustrations.

Created by a reading and dyslexia tutor, these short vowel books with fun illustrations help children learn to read. The background color on each page helps remove distortions caused by visual processing difficulties.

Note to parents and teachers: The first few pages of each book lists "Words to Know" in a box. The words in the box are tricky words. They may be sight words that can’t be “sounded out”, or just words that need explicit instruction.  Teach these to your child before starting the story. Reading is easier and smoother if the child is already familiar with these words.

Roma Chadha Sood is a dyslexia and reading tutor and lives in northern California.

After years of looking for specific educational materials to help children with dyslexia enjoy learning, Roma finally decided to create the materials herself. That lead her on an exciting journey with the start of a company called 'I See, I Spell, I Learn®' and creating fun and useful products to help right-brained children read and spell with success. 

Roma has created picture flashcards and workbooks for Sight Words and Homophones, Short Vowel Workbooks and more recently, an entire series of 30 fun and easy-to-read Phonics-based story books for both early readers and children with dyslexia.

Roma works in a private Montessori school in the Bay Area as a Reading Specialist, and is a certified Barton tutor. Roma has a Masters in Communications Management from the Annenberg School of Communications (USC).

Roma's non-professional writing began in 2009 when she wrote a poem-titled 'How Souls Are Made' for her lovely 5-year old's birthday. The dream to actually see it published and printed came true in 2016, following which she has written two more books. One on anger for pre-teens to young adults, titled 'The Unwanted Guest', and more recently another children's book called 'Mama, I am Lonely!'.

Roma loves to write and hopes that her books bring as much joy to her readers as writing them brings to her!
