Sam Phonic

Sam Phonic is a London-based publisher that’s been making decodable books since 2006. Founded by three reading specialists, they build structured phonics resources for kids learning to read, plus catch-up series for older readers aged 8 to 14+ who need to fill gaps in their skills. Think of it as the place for books that actually meet readers where they’re at, not just generic stories. The vibe here is practical and teacher-friendly. Their books are designed to build reading confidence step by step, with action-packed storylines and illustrations that keep older kids engaged. They also back it up with activity books, games, and free classroom resources like diagnostic assessments and posters.
