English

2018 Pacific Book Awards Grand Winner and Finalist
BEST illustrated children's book

A child can choose to read from a selection of hundreds of children's books but there is only one series for children who love dogs with exciting adventures! If your child finds reading difficult because of their dyslexia or because they are English Language Learners, each book introduces different word families discussed in classrooms with segmented-blended, color coded, pronunciations. The second book improves upon the first with a dictionary at the bottom page for the word being introduced and the pronunciation next to the word instead of underneath it. Both introduce differences in common speech sounds.

Enjoy, they were written for you and your child!

English

Irene Dolnick has four beagles, whose love is the inspiration behind her creativity and who have taught her that dogs are as adventurous as people. Irene lives in El Paso, Texas, a warm climate that allows her to share in the dogs' craziest schemes.

English

Irene Dolnick has a very clever and subtle idea in creating books for children that are tender, funny, engrossing, and at the same time have underlying lessons about friendship AND – thank heaven for this! – pays respect to the too long neglected study of phonetics/phonics in the classroom. Remember the school days in the past when during reading time the teacher would call each student to the desk and spend some one-on-one time teaching phonetics/phonics? It is a lost art and one that provided advanced learning in reading and even in learning other languages as well.
