Start where your child is now. Move forward when the current skill feels comfortable.
Three published phonics stages, followed by First Decodable Stories Workbook, now in development.
Sounds become words.
Two letters can work together as one sound.
Two consonants together, both sounds heard.
Connected reading becomes a story.
Coming laterEach step below describes who the book is for and what the child will practice, so you can match it to what is actually happening at the kitchen table.
Short vowels and three-sound words
Short-vowel practice that moves a child from sounding out single letters to reading and spelling CVC words on their own.
SH, CH, TH, CK, NG and WH
The step after CVC: six digraph patterns where two letters spell a single sound, practiced one pattern at a time.
Beginning and ending consonant blends
Words where consonants sit side by side and both sounds can still be heard — stop, frog, camp, hand.
Reading a whole story independently
In development: short phonics stories and comprehension questions that follow CVC words, digraphs and blends, with new patterns introduced before they appear in a story.
Both choices cover short-vowel CVC words, consonant digraphs and blends. Choose the format that fits your child’s next step.
Choose a book for the skill your child is practicing now. Each volume keeps the focus on one stage.
Each reading title opens its stage’s four book-bonus games.
Keep the first three stages together in one volume, with the next skill close at hand as your child progresses.
The 3-in-1 opens all twelve book-bonus games.
