How to use these books in your classroom

1

Teach the phonics pattern

Introduce or review the target sound using your curriculum sequence — activities, word cards, or phoneme manipulation drills.

2

Read the decodable book together

Students apply the pattern they've just practised in a real story — building fluency and confidence with every page.

3

Reinforce and celebrate

Re-read for fluency, use comprehension prompts, and let students take the book home — because confident readers become lifelong readers.

Frequently asked questions

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.
Who created Innerlinks Decodable Books?
Innerlinks Decodable Books were created by Ali Fullick, a New Zealand-based author, illustrator, and educator with a deep commitment to evidence-based literacy teaching. Every book is written and illustrated with classroom realities in mind.
