The best decodables!

I'm an AIS reading teacher and I've purchased a variety of decodables at this point. This is by far the best because they are ACTUALLY decodable. My own children and my students love these books because they feel immediate success. Im recommending that everyone that asks me about books to get their kids to check out Charge Mommy Books.

Finally Books My Kid can Decode!

I taught first and second grade for over a decade but when it came time for my child to learn to read I was no longer in the classroom. So I didn't have access to the little decodable books I used when I taught. Most books that you see in stores that claim to be for beginner readers are too hard! I finally found the best decodable books that my child can read! They are small to fit in little hands, have wonderful colored pictures and funny stories that my 6 year old daughter loves to read! She has been able to decode the words because these are actual books that can be sounded out! I have been looking for books like this for a while and I'm so glad I found them with Charge Mommy Books. Thank you!!

Great Find!!

These books have been such a great find. Our nonprofit works with young readers and their families, and phonics is a big part of our program. It's been really hard to find consonant blend books, and these were exactly what we were searching for!

Stage 2: Consonant Blends

The Charge into Reading Consonant Blends Decodable Reader Set is stage 2 of Charge into Reading’s structured system of decodable readers.

Building on the short vowel sounds introduced in Stage 1, each volume in this 5-book set focuses on a specific kind of consonant blend: L Blends, R Blends, S Blends, T Blends, and Word-Ending blends.

Each Consonant Blend Decodable Reader also contains 8 pages of blend-specific literacy activities meant to further strengthen a reader’s comprehension of the
reading skill presented in the book.

  • Consonant Blend Identification

    Hearing the sounds within a word is the first stage in learning to read. This consonant blends activity encourages children to identify blends not by reading a word but by saying it aloud.

  • Consonant Blend Word Bank

    The ability to sound out words and figure out what letters they include is one of the first steps in reading and spelling. Ask your child to say each picture word. Then work with them to figure out what consonant blend the word uses and match it to the words in the word bank.

  • Consonant Blends Scooping

    Being able to locate consonant blends is an important first step in being able to read more complex words. This consonant blend scooping activity encourages children to find the letter blends within a word.
