Your questions, answered

• 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.

• What age or year level are these books designed for? +

  These books are designed primarily for students in Kindergarten through Year 2 (ages 5–8), including children learning to read for the first time and those receiving intervention or catch-up support.

• 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 engaging for young children? +

  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.
