Frequently asked

Educator and family questions.

How does Innerlinks line up with UFLI Foundations?

Innerlinks supplements any phonics programme. Every book was created to align with UFLI's scope and sequence. Set 5 lines up with UFLI Foundations Phonics Program Lessons 42 to 52, and every other set is mapped at the lesson-range level so you can pair the right reader with the lesson you just taught.

What makes a book "decodable"?

"A decodable book is a text strategically controlled to include only the letter-sound relationships (phonemes and graphemes) that a student has already been explicitly taught." That means kids decode rather than guess.

Are these books dyslexia friendly?

Yes. Innerlinks uses dyslexia-friendly fonts and visual spacing for easier decoding. The parent guide explains that the clean, simple layout reduces cognitive load so a child can spend their mental energy on decoding the sounds. Innerlinks was founded by Ali, a literacy specialist and parent of a dyslexic child.

Who are these books for?

K-1 / Yr 0-2 classroom teachers, homeschool families, reading specialists and SLPs running Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention, and parents of children finding reading hard. Innerlinks is trusted by teachers and parents across the US, UK, Australia and NZ.

Is there a free sample?

Yes. The teacher sampler page offers a free decodable book download from Set 5 (the digraph series), and there is a parent-facing version too. Both walk you through the cinematic illustrations, low-load layout, and the bonus game.

Where do I buy in the US?

Innerlinks is now available through its USA distributor, Booksource.com, in addition to the Innerlinks website.

Which set should I start with?

Match the set to the UFLI stage your class is in. Set 1 covers the first ten single sounds, Set 2 fills out the rest of the alphabet plus plurals, Set 3 completes single-letter consonants, Set 4 reviews short vowels with blends, and Set 5 introduces digraphs. The crosswalk above gives a lesson-range guide.
