Phonics Book Bag Readers

Overview

Our Phonics Book Bag Readers have been designed to support children’s phonic knowledge and early reading skills in the classroom and at home. The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive stories, accompanied by bright and contemporary illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers.

Each decodable fiction book has been carefully structured to support children build on their secure phonic knowledge, moving confidently from decoding words to reading fluently and for pleasure.

  • Learning is supported by humorous and fun illustrations and children will love searching for the hidden characters throughout the books!
  • The artwork is detailed so as not to provide picture cues and prompting.
