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

Hidden in Paris are older reader books that introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. The pack of 10 decodable books is aimed at older children in need of support with their reading, teaching different letter patterns through a series of stories.

For example:
Book 1: Fortune Hunters (u, ue, u-e)
Book 2: A Rough Ride (u, o, ou)
Book 3: Something Goes Missing (s, ss, se, c, ce)

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 specializes in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
