The DOG ON A LOG Books series are for phonics readers and folks with a dyslexic learning style. The words used reflect the inclusion of 1 to 3 new phonics rules in each step. There are five books at each step.

The chapter books are written in a chapter format with one picture in most chapters. They are longer, have more detail, and sometimes offer more complexity than the Let's GO! Books. They're great for practicing known and new phonics rules. They're also just fun reading.

DOG ON A LOG Let's GO! Books are shorter versions of DOG ON A LOG Chapter books. Let's GO! books tell the same stories with about 8 pictures and only a few sentences per page. They're perfect as an introduction to the new phonics rules or simply for fun reading for younger kids.
