Moon Dogs Bundle Pack 1

The SPELD Victoria Bookstore now offers an excellent range of classroom bundles which include multiple copies of each book in the series. These bundles are designed for use in classrooms for reading groups, intervention programs, or as take-home readers. These bundles make it easy for teachers to ensure that all students have access to high quality reading materials at the right level.

This bundle includes three (3) copies of sets 1, 2 and 3 of the Moon Dogs series (90 readers in total), and one (1) copy of each of the corresponding, photocopiable, workbooks (3 workbooks in total).

The Moon Dogs series is a catch up phonic reading series for older, struggling readers who would benefit from starting at the very beginning. It is aimed at older students and adults who are struggling with reading in mainstream and learning support settings.

Moon Dogs features contemporary, age-appropriate illustrations combined with fun stories to engage the older reader while the phonic structure ensures reading success.


Set 1 introduces the sounds of the alphabet at the CVC level. One line of text allows the reader to develop successful decoding strategies within a controlled text. Letters introduced in previous books are included at every new stage for practice and consolidation. A game, included in each book, offers further fun revision.
