About Us

Phonic Books was founded in 2006 by three reading specialists who were passionate about teaching children how to read. After realizing the methods in place were not working and using their expertise, they developed truly decodable books for younger children and for older, struggling readers. Based on the Science of Reading, Phonic Books readers develop the five pillars of learning to read: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension, and accompanying activity books support students who need extra practice at each level. In 2022, Phonic Books became part of DK Learning in order to reach even more readers. 

 

Our Books

Phonic Books’ series for beginner readers introduce only a few sounds and letters at a time to build reading confidence and fluency. Catch-up series for older readers ages 8–14+ bridge gaps in phonics skills and reading knowledge. They have action-packed storylines and age-appropriate illustrations to engage older readers. 

Easy to use in the classroom, Phonic Books helps to build solid reading foundations for every student.
