Written and illustrated by Ali Fullick

Innerlinks was born from a simple frustration: the best structured literacy programs deserved books that were just as good.

As both the writer and illustrator, Ali controls every element of each book from the letter-sound pairings on the page to the cinematic artwork that brings each story to life. The result is a decodable series with genuine phonetic integrity and real visual appeal.

Every Innerlinks book keeps early readers entirely secure within the sounds they know. No guesswork. No phonetic traps. Just the seamless lesson-by-lesson scaffolding that builds immediate reading confidence.

Formally recognised by the UFLI Foundations team

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything teachers, parents and specialists ask before they buy.

What are decodable books and why do early readers need them?
Decodable books only use letter-sound pairings the reader has already been taught. This means every word on the page is within reach, building confidence and accurate decoding from the very first book. Unlike predictive or levelled readers, decodable books remove guesswork and align with the Science of Reading.
Are Innerlinks books compatible with my phonics program?
Innerlinks books are created to align with the UFLI Foundations Phonics Program and are formally recognised by the UFLI team. They are also compatible with iDeal (Learning Matters), The Code, and any other evidence-based structured literacy program. Teachers using programs other than UFLI may find a slightly different sequence of sounds, but the books can be incorporated into any systematic phonics approach.
Where do I start? Which set is right for my child or student?
Start with Set 1 if your reader is at the very beginning of their phonics journey, working on short vowel CVC words. Each set builds systematically on the last, so you can match the set to the sounds your reader has been taught. Download our free scope and sequence to see exactly which sounds each set covers.
Do you ship to Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom?
Yes. Innerlinks ships to New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Australian customers can also purchase through our distributor SPELD NSW. US customers can purchase through Booksource. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by region.
Are these books suitable for children with dyslexia?
Innerlinks books are designed with dyslexia-friendly typography, generous spacing, and high contrast illustrations to support all early readers. The strict phonetic control means readers with dyslexia are never asked to guess a word. The colour coding of decodable and irregular words provides additional visual support. They are used by literacy tutors and speech-language pathologists as well as classroom teachers.
What makes Innerlinks different from other decodable book series?
Every Innerlinks book is written and illustrated by Ali Fullick, ensuring absolute phonetic integrity without sacrificing visual engagement. The series features cinematic movie-style illustrations, continuous storylines, a bonus phonics game, and a fun fact in every book. Innerlinks is formally recognised by the UFLI team and is the only decodable series of its kind to combine rigorous structured literacy alignment with professional illustration quality.
