Dandelion Launchers
The Dandelion Launchers are structured, synthetic phonics readers which introduce a restricted number of letters at a time. This allows a beginning reader, particularly a student with compromised phonological processing, to focus on a few grapheme-phoneme links and consolidate the knowledge of these before moving to a larger number of links. Dandelion Launchers have one line of text per page. and each unit has 4 books.
