Each set includes engaging stories with familiar characters, detailed illustrations, and target phonics skills to support the diverse learners in your classroom or at home.

Each book focuses on a unique topic and includes vibrant photographs perfect for curious minds. Embedded fact boxes can be read by the teacher to help build content knowledge and stimulate classroom discussions and further learning. Each book comes with a research-based digital lesson plan, which can be used in sequence with the phonics continuum or flexibly to reinforce specific phonics skills.

This curriculum is a small-group 5-day reading program that provides carefully sequenced, high-impact instruction in reading, writing, phonemic awareness, and phonics. High-quality decodable Phonics Storybooks are paired with fiction and nonfiction readers to maximize and accelerate student learning.
  • The Phonics Launch Bookshelf provides teachers with a collection of high-quality decodable readers also found in our Phonics Launch print kits.

Students can only access these digital texts if teachers assign them. The books on the Intervention Partner Bookshelf are authentic, original leveled texts designed to improve the literacy achievement of struggling readers and accelerate their progress when used as a fresh or first read.
  • The Book Closet Bookshelf contains titles that are not included in any of the grade-level sets. The Book Closet is intended to expand the books available to the teacher and their students for independent reading, shared reading, or guided reading.

This feature provides students with three randomized and system-generated book choices. At least one of the titles will be a new book selected for the student based on their Reading Adventures level.
