Pulling Together Reading Series Book 3

Book 3: Meet the _____: Pulling Together: A Phonics Reading Team

Decodable Phonics Lessons with Two Big Brothers

Your child can sound out short words. Now it’s time for the letter teams found in everyday books.

Book 3 takes beginning readers from simple words to real reading, one letter team at a time: ar, er, ir, ur, ai, ay, ea, oa, ow, igh, both sounds of oo, aw, au, oi, oy, ou, ew, ue, ui, ie, ey, air, are, and ear. It also teaches the three-letter blends (str, spl, thr…) and soft g.

What’s inside

• 44 step-by-step lessons, with the same steps every day so your child knows what’s coming
• A short story in every lesson, written by the author, plus three Talk About It questions, including a “think deeper” question that builds comprehension
• Word ladders, sentence triangles, Sound Sort games and letter-tile spelling
• Four checkpoints, from the Starting Gate review of Book 2 to the Finish Line, so you know when to move on
• A more book-like font, so readers get used to the print in real books
• Clear parent notes on every page; no teaching experience needed

The secret on the farm

A proud, serious horse stands at the fence and watches over the whole herd. His name is hidden under the ribbon on the cover, and your child earns every sound they need, lesson by lesson, until they read it aloud on their own.

Who it’s for

Beginning readers of any age who have finished Book 2 or can read short-vowel words, blends, and endings: homeschool families, parents teaching at home, children with dyslexia, and tutors. Not sure where to start? The free placement readers on our site show you which book fits your child.
