Learn how to read with decodable and engaging fiction for older readers who are interested in graphic novels and at the early stages of reading.

This graphic novel-style series for 9-12 year-olds features eight decodable books designed for older readers who can read simple CVC words.

Eight stories bound into one graphic novel format follow the adventures of a diverse group of teenage friends in a skateboarding team called the Sun Cats. Each story practises the initial sounds of the alphabet at CVC-level text.

For example:
Chapter 1: s a t i m
Chapter 2: n o p
Chapter 3: b c g h
Chapter 4: d e f v
Chapter 5: k l r u
Chapter 6: j w z
Chapter 7: x y ff ll ss zz
Chapter 8: All initial sounds, CVC


Sun Cats shares the same phonic progression as Phonic Books Moon Dogs and Phonic Books Moon Dogs Extras Set 1, and can be used in parallel to consolidate phonemic knowledge and reading skills.

This beginner reader series features:
  • Truly decodable text to allow independent reading, ideal for reluctant readers.
  • Reading material aimed at children aged 9-12.
  • Common CVC words that are gradually introduced in each book.

This pack of 8 decodable books features:
  • ‘How to Use This Book’ guidance page, including information about the new sounds introduced and important notes on the sound.
  • Decodable graphic novel story pages.
  • Reading practice word lists and character art.
  • Questions for discussion.
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. Using their expertise, they set about developing phonics reading books for young children and older readers who need support. View titles by Phonic Books
