Learn how to read with these decodable Phonic Books for older readers.

The Resolvers are older reader books that introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. The pack of 12 decodable books is aimed at older children in need of support with their reading, teaching different letter patterns through a series of stories.

What is phonics?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read through understanding the sounds that individual letters make and blending them to make a word. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specialises in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
