Youkan Reading Decodable Books Series 3: The Blugs
Series 3 incorporates closed syllable, one syllable words with blends and letter combinations -ng and -nk. Children love the funny, adventurous Blug family members. Because the Blugs are from another planet, nonsense words are cleverly woven into the story.
