What phonics programs are these books compatible with?

Innerlinks Decodable Books are designed to work alongside any structured literacy or evidence-based phonics program. They follow a scope and sequence fully aligned with UFLI Foundations, and are easily adaptable to programs such as Sounds Write, Little Learners Love Literacy, Jolly Phonics, and others.

Who are these books designed for?

These books are for any learner working through a phonics learning journey — from those just beginning to older students receiving Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention or catch-up support. There is no age limit; the books follow the phonics sequence, not a year level.

Are these books decodable or levelled readers?

These are true decodable readers. Every word in each book can be decoded using the phonics patterns explicitly taught up to that point in the sequence. This is fundamentally different from levelled readers, which often rely on picture cues and memorisation.

What format do the books come in?

Books are available as printed physical copies, digital PDF downloads, and as classroom packs. Check the product listing for the formats available for this specific book.

Can I use these books for small-group or intervention sessions?

Absolutely. Innerlinks books are ideal for small-group guided reading and targeted intervention. The focused phonics pattern in each book makes them easy to slot into any lesson where students need additional practice with a specific sound.

Do these books work for homeschooling?

Yes. Many homeschooling families use Innerlinks Decodable Books as part of their structured literacy curriculum. The clear phonics focus and engaging stories make them a practical, confidence-building resource for home learning.

Are the illustrations and stories genuinely engaging?

Engaging stories are at the heart of everything we do. Each book features original, character-driven narratives and warm, colourful illustrations designed to spark genuine enjoyment, because a child who loves the story is a child who wants to read it again.

Bugs!: s as /z/, UFLI Lesson 21

Sam the park ranger is busy keeping the park clean, until something unexpected gets in his way.

This Structured Literacy decodable book focuses on the phonics rule where /s/ spells the /z/ sound at the end of a word, as in bugs, which happens when /s/ follows a voiced sound. It is dyslexia-friendly throughout and stays inside sounds already taught in Set 1 and Set 2, so readers decode the page instead of guessing at it. It suits guided reading groups, Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention, and home phonics practice.

Each copy includes a free bonus phonics game, a fun fact, and a comprehension quiz.
