From explicit phonics instruction to decodable reading, comprehension, fluency and at-home practice, everything teachers need to reinforce foundational reading skills.
Whole Phonics is a comprehensive supplemental literacy suite. It gives teachers coordinated resources to reinforce foundational reading skills, support differentiated instruction and build reading fluency.
It is designed to complement the programs your teachers already use, including UFLI Foundations, Fundations and HMH Into Reading. Whole Phonics extends phonics instruction into meaningful reading practice.
Every story comes with a lesson, a workbook, a fluency play and a take-home copy, so instruction, practice and home reading all line up.
Reading Ready for Whole Phonics guides, co-developed with Dr. Katie Pace Miles, give scripted, explicit and systematic lessons.
Real stories with a complete beginning, middle and end, written so every word follows a pattern students have been taught.
Each book has its own workbook pages, so students practice the exact patterns in the story they just read.
The Let’s Play! series turns each story into a short script for repeated, purposeful reading.
Black-and-white versions of every book so students keep reading at home.
Most decodable books don’t foster engagement or comprehension. Every Whole Phonics book has a real plot with a beginning, problem and resolution, so students practice comprehension strategies, not just decoding.
Diverse, multicultural characters and their animal friends come back book after book. Kids get attached and ask for “the next one.”
Whole Phonics“As soon as my granddaughter started making her way through the Whole Phonics readers, the code started to make sense to her and her reading took off. Over and over she demanded to read the ‘next book.’”
Each new sound or skill appears in every level that follows. The first three levels have 15 decodable books each; Levels Four and Five continue as chapter books.
Alignment charts map every Whole Phonics book to the lessons in each program.
Grounded in the Science of Reading and research-based instructional practices, our solutions are designed to provide targeted, individualized support that addresses diverse learning needs.
