My dog Ned Book 2c, includes the following phonically decodable story-rhymes:
1. My dog Ned - Ben has a dog called Ned. One day Ned starts to limp and feel sorry for himself so Ben takes him to the vet.
2. Six fish - This is a story about two friends: Pug Dog and Fat Cat. Pug Dog tells Fat Cat that if he continues to eat so much something dreadful will happen. And he's right...

Every rhyming story uses artwork by Tim Archbold, who uses a style that has been likened to Quentin Blake's, which children love.

It is recommended that parents use the RWI Phonics Speed sounds Flashcards Set 1 and Sets 2 and 3 to practise before and alongside children reading any of the RWI story books.
