Lad and His Pals

(Geniebooks Book 1)

Lad and His Pals was written to help young readers develop basic skills with the most reliable vowels. The stories are designed for children to read successfully and to enjoy new adventures with familiar storybook friends

Lad and his Pals features 14 engaging, decodable stories for practicing the five short vowels and the consonant digraphs sh, ch, and th. With decodable stories, phonics works to unlock the words, opening a window on the adventures of animals and children who become familiar storybook friends.

This book incorporates the best features of past decodable children’s stories: strong story structure, inviting illustrations, and a growing set of correspondences allowing an ever richer pool of words. We have added a feature to our series pioneered in the Dick and Jane stories read by earlier generations of children: our stories follow familiar children and animals through a series of adventures.

However, unlike the bland characters in the Dick and Jane books, the characters in these stories are culturally diverse: African-American, European-American, Asian Indian, and East Asian. Some of the most important characters are highly accessible to all children because they are animals—a dog, two cats, a flock of angry geese, a mischievous snake, and a pet pig.
