DANDELION LAUNCHERS
is a set of  readers that precede and supplement the Dandelion Readers phonic books sets. Each of the seven sets, or Units, contains four books, as illustrated above, introducing new sounds and including the sounds in previous levels. Each Launcher contains 8 full colour pages with a single line of text at CVC word level, encouraging the beginner reader to blend sounds into words;  and also contains a lotto game to motivate the reader and consolidate phonic skills, as well as "how to use this book" instructions for parents and non-specialists. Using Dandelion Launchers enables children to experience success at every level and discover the thrill of independent reading from the start.
