Each story in the Awakening Potential For Reading Success Book Series is aligned with a phonics concept or decoding strategy from the Awakening Potential For Reading Success reading program.
The story will contain words which use this concept, allowing the student to practice what they have learned from the corresponding lesson in the reading program.
The books can also be used as stand alone phonics books, or they can be used for reading practice in conjunction with other phonics programs.
I Love Dogs! uses the Power Ups Level 1 concept. The Power Ups are prefixes, roots, and suffixes that can be added to words in order to ‘power them up,’ in the same way that a superhero can get new abilities and powers. The Power Ups Level 1 sounds are: re, de, pro, pre, tend, pend, es, ing, ed, en, er, est, y, s, less, ness, ful, ly.
Each story is divided into 3 or 4 levels (stories with more basic concepts, like Jump, Run, and Kick, only have levels 1-3):
There is 1 book for each level (Levels 1, 2, and 3), which means you get a total of 3 books!
- Level 1– Appropriate for students in grades 1-2. Very short sentences, mostly containing sight words. Only 1 or 2 words per sentence need to be decoded. Each page only has 1 sentence. Text is quite large. Large pictures accompany the text on each page.
- Level 2– Appropriate for students in grades 2-3. Longer sentences with 2-3 words that need to be decoded. Each page only has 1 sentence. Text is smaller than level 1. Large pictures accompany the text on each page.
- Level 3– Appropriate for students in grades 3-4. Longer sentences with more frequency of words that need to be decoded. Each sentence has 2-3 phrases. Each page has multiple sentences. Smaller pictures accompany the text on each page.
- Level 4– Appropriate for students in grades 4-6. Longest sentences of all the levels. Sentences have 2-3 phrases. Each page only has a large number of sentences. Pictures are only included every few pages.
I Love Dogs is a story about different dogs who accept themselves just as they are and are happy to show their traits. These dogs have a wide variety of personalities and positive character traits. Some dogs are brave and protect others, some are happy and have fun all the time, while others are modest, silly, or restful. Each dog is special in its own way and is completely satisfied being just the way they are.
