The Royal Boy

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 16 of the series emphasizes the diphthongs "oy" and "oi" which make the same sound. The story follows Troy, a royal prince who leaves his life to explore the world and then returns with his bride. 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.
