Logic of English Foundations A Readers

Like all Logic of English controlled texts, there is no reliance on sight words or patterns for these beginning readers. Instead, these texts give students a chance to apply the phonograms they have learned to decode the text and strengthen the pathways they need in the brain to become strong readers.

Team Reading Style: Ideal for one-on-one instruction, small groups, or large groups, three of the ten books are designated team readers (“Jog”, “Mud” and “Frog Hand”) . In these texts, beginning readers team up with a more experienced reader to participate in reading texts that have words, phrases, and sentences that may not be decodable for the beginning reader at this point in the curriculum. The interactive topics encourage discussion and engagement with each book’s theme.

NOTE: These readers were added to the Logic of English curriculum in 2025 and are not included in the Foundations A Teacher’s Manual.  Use the following guide to incorporate them at the end of the following Foundations A lessons:
