Phonics is a way of teaching children to read by 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.
Phonic Books specializes in publishing decodable, synthetic phonics books for beginner readers and reading catch-up. Phonic Books was founded by three special needs teachers passionate about teaching all children to read.
