Dandelion Launchers, Units 8-10

Dandelion Launchers Units 8-10 is a series of 12 simple, decodable books that introduce consonant blends.  Each unit enables the student to read four different books and stories.

There are four books in each unit, providing practice while offering different stories.  Each unit introduces new letters/sounds while revising previously taught phonic letters/sounds and high-frequency or sight words.
