Schools describe early reading in at least six different languages: Little Wandle phases, Read Write Inc colours, book bands, Oxford levels, Twinkl levels… Pick the one your child's school uses and we'll translate it into all the others — and show you decodable books that match. Runs in your browser, no signup.
Mappings are a well-evidenced guide, not a law of nature — schools band books slightly differently, and children don't read in tidy straight lines. When in doubt, your child's teacher trumps any chart (including this one).
Free options first. These series publish which sounds each book uses, so they can be matched to your child's level — look for the phase, set or colour on the cover or the publisher's page.
We link straight to publishers and free libraries. No affiliate links, no sponsorship — if that ever changes it will be disclosed right here.
