Decodable Readers for Schools & Teachers
Build reading confidence with structured decodable readers that allow children to practise the sounds, phonics patterns and decoding skills they have already been taught.
Why Decodable Readers Belong in the Classroom
When children are developing their reading skills, the books they practise with need to match what they have already been taught. Decodable readers provide structured opportunities to apply phonics knowledge in connected text rather than relying on guessing from pictures or unfamiliar words.
Match Reading to Phonics
Choose readers according to the sounds and spelling patterns students are currently learning.
Clear Progression
Move from phonemic awareness and letter sounds through phonics, blends, vowel sounds and spelling.
Fiction & Non-Fiction
Give students variety while continuing to practise reading skills at an appropriate phase.
A Practical Reading Progression for Different Stages
Fiction, Non-Fiction or Both?
Fiction Readers
Structured stories allow students to practise decoding while engaging with characters and narrative.
VIEW FICTION LIBRARIES →Non-Fiction Readers
Photographic and factual reading gives students another way to practise decoding while exploring real-world topics.
VIEW NON-FICTION LIBRARIES →More Than Just the Readers
The supporting Teacher's Book includes a Letters & Sounds overview, phonics scope and sequence, lesson plans for individual readers, photocopiable activities, screening checks, assessment pages and a high-frequency word bank.
Start with the Level Your Students Actually Need
Reading age and chronological age do not always align. Select readers according to the sounds and phonics knowledge a student has already developed, then progress as their decoding skills become more secure.

Choosing Decodable Readers for Your Students
What is a decodable reader?
A decodable reader uses controlled text so children can practise reading words using phonics knowledge and sound patterns that have already been introduced.
How do I choose the correct phase?
Begin with the sounds and phonics patterns the student can already recognise and decode. The aim is to provide successful practice before introducing more complex reading patterns.
Should I choose fiction or non-fiction?
Both can be useful. Fiction gives students structured stories and characters, while non-fiction provides factual reading supported by photographic content. Many schools use a combination to provide variety.
Can schools order directly from Teach Me Toys?
Yes. School Orders are welcome. Select School Order at checkout and provide an approved Purchase Order.
