BiDee Phonics – Decodable Readers for Early Literacy (Ireland & UK)

BiDee Phonics is a professionally developed range of decodable phonics readers written by two experienced Irish Primary School teachers and illustrated and printed in Ireland. These engaging, humorous stories are carefully designed to help children learn to read with confidence, using a structured phonics-based approach that supports real classroom teaching.

Each book follows a clear scope and sequence, introducing new sounds gradually while continually revising previous phonemes, ensuring children develop strong blending, decoding and fluency skills as they progress.
