Pals: A CVC Book for Emergent Readers (CVC Books for Emergent Readers, Band 1)

Read Right Books™ – Decodable Phonics Books Based on the Science of Reading

Teach children to read with confidence using Read Right Books™—a comprehensive decodable phonics series based on the Science of Reading.

Read Right Books™ is a carefully structured collection of 74 decodable readers designed to help beginning readers develop strong phonics skills, reading fluency, and lasting confidence. Following a systematic scope and sequence, each book introduces new phonics concepts while providing meaningful practice with previously learned skills.

The series begins with 10 CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) decodable books, giving young readers the opportunity to blend sounds together to read their very first words and sentences independently. These books provide the repetition and practice students need to master foundational reading skills while experiencing early success.

The first book in the series, Pals, focuses on the short a CVC pattern. Students practice decoding simple words such as cat, man, map, and sat while enjoying an engaging story supported by clean, simple illustrations. Because the artwork is intentionally non-distracting, children learn to rely on the printed words—not the pictures—to decode text, an essential principle of effective phonics instruction.

As students move through the complete 74-book series, they are introduced to increasingly advanced phonics patterns, high-frequency words, and decoding strategies. Every book builds on previously mastered skills, creating a solid pathway from beginning decoding to fluent reading.

Many classrooms using Read Right Books™ have experienced remarkable reading growth. In one school year, numerous students progressed from DRA Level 4 to DRA Level 40, demonstrating how explicit, systematic phonics instruction can accelerate reading achievement.
