Our Approach: Decodable, Diverse, Dynamic

Books with a difference that support children every step of the way
Rhino Readers books keep the focus on phonics, with clear progression and
support for children’s early decoding skills as they move through each level.
This method ensures children only read the sounds and tricky words they’ve
already learnt.

Children build confidence as they work through the levels,

regularly applying new learning. Sounds, tricky words and
common exception words are introduced systematically and
gradually.

Progression is fluent and smooth, with the teaching load for each
level split into sublevels a, b and c.

Stand-out quality, with detailed, beautiful illustrations and

characters that chime with children today.
