Saddleback's Phonics Decodable Readers support striving readers with low-level, age-respectful books built around specific phonics patterns. Six sets, each with ten books, cover prefixes, suffixes, homophones, challenging spelling patterns, and two combined-pattern sets that pull the earlier patterns together. Most sets pair seven fiction titles across a range of genres with three nonfiction titles that add technical vocabulary and definitions, and every book includes a glossary to help set students up for success.
If your students need a complete, leveled library rather than standalone phonics practice sets, check out Tween Emergent Reader Libraries® Phonics, grades 4-8, and Teen Emergent Reader Libraries® Phonics, grades 9-12. Both offer a phonics-based track that progresses from CVC words to multisyllabic words, and a sight-words-based track that builds high-interest fiction and nonfiction fluency, so you can choose the approach that best fits your students.
See how these decodable sets fit into a full Science of Reading-aligned intervention strategy for grades 4-12, pairing systematic, explicit phonics instruction with age-respectful content that doesn't feel babyish to older students.
