A child who knows letter sounds can sound out a new word instead of guessing at it. That is the whole idea behind phonics. These books introduce one sound or pattern at a time, then give your child a short story that uses it again and again, so the sound sticks.
The books on this list start with single consonants and short vowels, then move to blends, digraphs, and longer patterns. Read them in order if your child is just starting, or jump to the sound your child is learning at school right now.
Listen together first. Let your child hear the sound, see the word light up, and try it aloud. A few minutes a day is enough. The goal is not to finish fast. It is to make sounding out feel normal.

A phonics book is built around one letter sound or word pattern, and it uses that sound again and again in a short story. Your child learns the sound by meeting it many times in real words, not by memorizing a list.
They are close cousins. A decodable book only uses sounds your child has already learned, so nearly every word can be sounded out. A phonics book teaches a new sound and then practices it. Use decodables to practice what is learned, and phonics books to learn the next sound.
Start with the consonant and vowel books at the top of the list. They cover single sounds with short words. When those feel easy, move to blends and digraphs.
