Word Sparks

Fully decodable books that build vocabulary too!

Using the world’s largest known database of writing for and by children, our experts have defined 300 ambitious words to help children succeed in school. We’ve combined these with fully-decodable books that help you match your phonics teaching and reading practice, while inspiring and engaging your young readers.

  • Aligned to Letters and Sounds Sets to help you match phonics teaching and practice.
  • Finely-levelled regular texts are fully decodable and designed for discussion.
  • Special Partner Texts can be read together with an adult to enhance vocabulary, discussion and home-school links.
