Decodable books are little texts written so that a beginning reader can sound out almost every word using only the letter-sounds they have already been taught. They build reading straight from the sounds you are practising in class, instead of asking children to guess from pictures. The two collections below are free and follow a structured letter-group order, so they slot in neatly alongside the Fundy Phonics sets.
Where to find them
Both publishers give their decodable readers away for teachers and families. Open either one in a new tab and match the set to the sounds your class has covered.
SPELD SA (Specific Learning Difficulties Association of South Australia) publishes free printable phonic books that follow a structured synthetic-phonics letter-group order, from single sounds through to digraphs and blends.
