Scholastic Phonics Tales – 25 Read-Aloud Storybooks

A 25-book Scholastic phonics collection that teaches essential sound-spelling patterns through short, memorable read-aloud stories. Phonics Tales covers key early-reading skills including short and long vowels, vowel patterns, consonant blends, digraphs, silent e and r-controlled sounds.

Each story focuses on a particular phonics pattern so children hear the target sound repeatedly in meaningful language. The playful stories, phonics riddles and repeated sound patterns make the set useful both for teaching a new sound and for reinforcing phonics already introduced at school.
