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 stories 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.

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 specialises in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
