Some older students and adults struggle with reading because they have not yet mastered phonics and spelling. If you teach special education, ESL/English-language learners, a reading intervention class, or if you are homeschooling your own child, you know how hard it is to find engaging decodable text for older students.

The 54 eight-page Sam and Friends Phonics Books feature teenage characters, high-interest plots, and non-juvenile cartoons. Each digital download (eBook) has embedded reading comprehension questions and word fluency. You get three separate formats of these decodable books: 1. Print booklets  2. Phone  3. Tablet or Chromebook. Teachers have a lifetime license to print and share the booklets and digital files with their students and parents. Quite a reasonable price, too, at two bucks a book!

All program components are digital downloads (no print books).

The instructional sequence aligns with The Science of Reading Intervention Program: Word Recognition (all 54 books are included in this comprehensive program); however, the Sam and Friends Phonics Books collections are organized to easily adapt to any other explicit, systematic phonics and spelling instruction. Plus, differentiate/individualize instruction according to data from the program's whole-class diagnostic phonics assessment if you wish.

Your students will love these entertaining stories! Check out what teachers are saying about the Sam and Friends books:

"The Sam and Friends Phonics Books are amazing. I have been using them for two years now, my middle school kids love them, they can relate to the stories, and I have seen improved reading in all of them. They would often want to read additional books and be upset that we had to wait till the next day.

My kids often said these are great to read and not about baby stuff. Several were like he should make it a novel because it kind of is!"

 Rose Marie Tulius Pagel

“Just what my struggling middle school and high school readers need!”

Joy Hutchings

“I use these books with my third and fourth grade intervention students. They love the books and ask if we are reading Sam and Friends today. They apply the comprehension strategies in these books to other stories. So glad to have these resources!”

Angelo Moreno

“I teach ESL and my kids haven’t been taught phonics properly. Fortunately, Sam and Friends does just that and speeds up quickly. I also like that I can send the books home and not charge the parents–we all love that. Also, the stories aren’t about something stupid, like cats and dogs."

Joseph Curd

Your older students will enjoy reading about the comical adventures of Sam and his friends: Tom, Kit, and Deb. Oh, and also Sam’s dog, Pug. Each book is cleverly illustrated by master cartoonist, David Rickert. These books are fun to read and fun to teach!

Each book has focus sound-spellings and two Heart Words, which are practiced throughout the story. The 5 higher level SCRIP Comprehension Cues (Summary, Connect, Re-think, Interpret, Predict) per story are ideal for teaching students to dialog(ue) with the text and improve comprehension.

Additionally, all 54 books provide a 30-second word fluency practice on the focus sound-spellings and high-frequency Heart Words with a systematic review of previously introduced sound-spellings and Heart Words. Your students will improve reading fluency as they develop automaticity with the common sound-spellings and high-frequency Heart Words.

Very durable!
Color: Pink Cactus
One of the few actually tough chew toys for dogs who tear apart toys in seconds! My dog loves this thing and has yet to break into the rubber!

Great product! Durable, chewable, awesomeness!
Color: Grilled color, Color: Grilled color
Very well made and durable. My dog hasn't left them alone since i opened them. Hes been at it for about 45 minutes straight now! Lol. He's an avid chewer. He will chew thru and fabric or cloth toys in less then a day. But these are what he really likes because they take time to chew apart. The shapes, are great, because one he props up with his paws and chews and it seems like it's easy to grip for him. Thru are hard so if you have hard floors it can get a bit noisy when he drops them. Over all this is a great product. Safe, chewable, long lasting, fun shape looks real to him (i think lol), Me and my dog Lucky are both happy with his new toys!

Amazingly great product!
Color: Grilled color
I’m not just saying this, ok, this is not hyperbole: this is THE best nylon bone for chewing that I have ever purchased. And you get TWO of them for relatively less expensive than most chew toys give you one! I have 2 golden retrievers, and if you know goldens, you know that they are some of the most relentless and powerful chewers around. So I can’t give them almost any toy other than rubber stuff or it will be destroyed in a period of time that doesn’t make it worth it. One of them even figured out how to destroy a supposedly indestructible toy made out of kevlar! She was able to get into it through the seam, which is not kevlar ha ha. Anyway, I digress; I never even considered nylon chews because they suck! Usually. Usually my dogs in the past have lost interest with them in less than a day. I took a chance on these mainly because of the novel shapes, the fact that they give you two, and the low price. Both my goldens LOVE these! Not just for one day, but going on weeks now! I don’t know if it’s the flavor or what, but I will see them gnawing on one of them at some point every day. And they CAN’T destroy them (I knew nylon was good for that, but it was the “who cares” attitude of my previous dogs toward nylon that kept me away). Both the “ribs” and “steak” (quite clever) are a bit worn on the edges now, but they look like they will be around for years. You can’t go wrong with this product (unless for some reason your dog does not like the flavor, but the flavor seems to be what draws my dogs to them). I highly recommend this (these) as the most cost-effective chew toy I’ve ever purchased.

Great for larger dogs
Color: Grilled color
I think they were heavy duty and durable, but they were too heavy for my dog. The seller was excellent though!
