The Letter Setters in Bop!

About The Letter Setters in Bop!

Learning how to read should be a walk in the dog park! Follow four curious canines on letter-replacement adventures in this phonics-based early reader series starter from Theodor Seuss Geisel Medalist Ethan Long.

Meet the Letter Setters! When their BONE is GONE, these dynamic dogs—Patrick (an Irish Setter), R.W. (a Red and White Setter), Victoria (an English Setter), and Gordy (a Gordon Setter)—sound the GONG and spring into action to retrieve their tasty treat.

In this engaging new early reader series from acclaimed author-illustrator Ethan Long, each story starts out with a four letter word. On the next page, one swapped letter makes a new word—and a new canine caper for little ones learning how to read! As this fresh and fun device propels the pups into silly, slapstick sequences, phonics help readers to discover new words, study how words relate to each other, and observe how text and pictures support one another.

Geisel Medalist Ethan Long’s expressive artwork shines in these energetic, educational escapades that provide the youngest readers with the greatest adventure of all—a gateway into a lifelong love of reading. Detailed phonics features are included.

With fun stories and great pictures, new readers will say . . . “I like to read!” Created by award-winning-artists and talented newcomers and tested by educational experts, I Like to Read® books help develop vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension that lead to reading success.
