Learn how to read with Dandelion World Extras decodable books for beginner readers.

Dandelion World Extras Stages 8-15 are first reader books by Phonic Books which introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. This pack of 16 books is aimed at children in Pre-K to 1st Grade who are learning to read, teaching different letter patterns through a series of non-fiction stories.

What is phonics?

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.
