Learn how to read with these decodable Phonic Books for older readers.

Dark Waters are older reader books that introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. The pack of 10 decodable books is aimed at older children in need of support with their reading, teaching different letter patterns through a series of stories.

Dedicated books in each stage break down phonics practice while offering different stories for ages 9-12 (Elementary). These action-packed stories are designed for reluctant readers, taking them through different suffixes, prefixes, and root words.

For example:
Book 1: Suffixes (-s, -es, -ed, -ing)
Book 2: Suffixes (-ful, -less, -ness, -er, -est, -ly, -en, -ish, -y, -able, -ible)
Book 3: Prefixes (un-, in-, im-, ir-, il-, dis-, mis-)
Book 4: Prefixes (re-, pre-)
Book 5: Prefixes (uni-, tri-, quad-)
Book 6: Prefixes (super-)
Book 7: Prefixes (magna-, mini-, micro-)
Book 8: Root words (cap, man, spec, viv)
Book 9: Root words (mem)
Book 10: Root words (ject, tract, struct, labor, fact, form)

Accompanying activities are also available with Phonic Books Dark Waters Activities. Phonic Books Dark Waters shares the same phonic progression as Phonic Books Amber Guardians and can be used together to consolidate phonemic knowledge and reading skills.

This catch-up reader book series features:

  • A pack of 10 decodable books, each containing a story with different phonic letters and sounds.
  • Each unit introduces new letters and sounds by sounding them out (sat, s - a - t).
  • Reading material aimed at older children who need support with their reading.
  • Phonics progression of different suffixes, prefixes, and root words.

Each 32-page book contains:
  • Reading practice/vocabulary
  • Contents page
  • Story pages

What is phonics?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read through understanding the sounds that individual letters make and blending them to make a word. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specializes in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
