Every parent wants their child to be a successful reader. Evidence shows that beginning readers learn most successfully with a systematic synthetic phonics approach using decodable books. Children need to learn the letter sounds and the letters that represent them so that they can decode words when they are reading. Decodable books let them apply their developing phonic knowledge and support them to experience success with their reading.

The Sunshine Online Decodable Library offers:
✅ 180 engaging fiction and non-fiction decodable texts for beginning readers (five- to seven-year-olds)
✅ Opportunity to listen to the correct articulation of the letter sounds
✅ Opportunity to read the book, record themselves, and then listen to their recording
✅ Assessment at the completion of each set of books
✅ Access on any device, anytime, anywhere
