UFLI Dandelion Decodable Readers

For Early Units (Units 1–15 in UFLI) – CVC Words and Simple Blends
Recommended Series:

Dandelion Launchers (Units 1–7)
Ideal for beginning readers. These introduce simple CVC words and initial blends, which align closely with early UFLI lessons focusing on short vowels and single consonants.

Dandelion Readers: First Series (Units 1–10)
These continue the sequence with slightly more complexity, covering consonant digraphs, blends, and short vowels. Suitable for UFLI Units 10–15.

For Middle Units (Units 16–30) – Digraphs, Long Vowels, and VCe Patterns
Recommended Series:

Dandelion Readers: Extended Code Series
This series introduces vowel digraphs, split digraphs (magic e), and alternative spellings—aligning well with UFLI lessons on vowel teams and more advanced phoneme-grapheme correspondences.

For Later Units (Units 31+) – Multisyllabic Words and Morphology
Recommended Series:

Dandelion Readers: Level 3 and 4 (e.g., ‘Talisman’, ‘Totem’, and ‘Rescue’ series)
These books feature longer, more complex words and decodable texts suitable for students working on multisyllabic decoding and morphemes, supporting the higher levels of UFLI.
