SoundTales
Climb the sound ladder — a decodable chapter-book series where every spelling pattern is a character who does its trick in every story (the Twins, the Digraph Duo, Silent Ellie, Bossy R, the Vowel-Team Captain). Read one rung at a time, tap any word to hear it, and teach the pattern to Dodo. Structured-literacy decodable reading for ages 6–8.
