Paul the Author

The Rapid Reading book series allows readers to slowly acquire the decoding skills needed in the right order to learn to read and become fluent readers. The series contains interesting, colorful stories with the reading skill emphasized on every page. The constant repetition of prevalent decoding skills allows readers to quickly and efficiently practice the sounds, thereby internalizing them and becoming fluent readers. Book 19 of the series emphasizes the diphthongs "au" and "aw" which make the same sound. The story follows Paul, an author looking for inspiration and finding in the most unlikely of places. This book completes the fifth set of the series (books 16-19), which emphasizes the diphthong combinations of two sets of two-letter combinations that make the same sounds. Look for all of the books within this set of the series, which emphasize the oy & oi set, the ou & ow set, the ue & ew set, and the au & aw set.
