Phonics for ages 3–8
Help Your Child Fall in Love with Reading.
A four-volume phonics series created by a former teacher, built to take young readers from single letter sounds to reading on their own.
The Four Volumes
Start with Volume 1 and work up. Each book picks up where the last one left off.
How It Works
The books begin on an easy level and progress in difficulty as the child masters new phonetic skills with each volume.
Volume 1
Short vowel sounds & sight words
The first sounds a new reader needs — no prior reading required.
Volume 2
Long vowel sounds & sight words
The same skills stretched further — now the vowel says its own name.
Volume 3
Consonant blends & digraphs
Two letters, one sound — with earlier skills reviewed along the way.
Volume 4
Compound words & “R” controlled vowels
Longer words read independently — the last step before real books.
Best used one-on-one — one child to one teacher or parent.
Why Zeb Books
Carol Zerboni is a former teacher. The reading books she wrote for her own classroom worked so well across her school that she turned them into a series any parent can use at home.
Zeb the dog and his friends carry the lessons. Fun characters and humorous stories keep children engaged while the phonics does its work.
