The Bot in the Bin opens a set about two kids, a workshop and a race. Decodable stories about robots, twelve of them, for grades 1 and 2. A child finishes each robot story on their own The story arrives one big word at a time and the child taps through it. The words rejoin at the end of each sentence so the child reads it whole. You see who needs more practice with a sound Each story closes with nine words from it. The child taps the words with the story's sound, correct taps show green, misses show orange with a teaching note, wrong taps show red, and a score closes it. The twelve stories climb one step at a time from Unit 1, Short Vowels and Digraphs to Unit 4, R-Controlled and Diphthongs. The Bot in the Bin opens the set in Unit 1 and The Round Wheels and the Ground closes it in Unit 4, with Unit 2, Blends, Magic e and Long a, and Unit 3, Long Vowel Teams, in between.
