Decodable Readers Set of 14 Books | Science of Reading Phonics Books Grades 1-3 | CVC, Blends, Digraphs, Silent E, Vowel Teams | Printable

Truly decodable readers — no guessing, no memorizing.

This set of 14 mini-books follows a strict Science of Reading scope and sequence. Every story was written to the sequence and then checked word by word: a child reading Book 5 has every pattern and heart word they need for Book 5 — nothing sneaks in early. Big, clean text, one friendly illustration per page, and a comprehension page in every book.
