Bidee Phonics Decodable Readers

The BiDee Phonics Decodable Readers series is a structured, phonics-based reading programme designed to help children become confident, fluent readers through systematic, evidence-based instruction.

Developed by experienced Irish primary school teachers and created with real classrooms in mind, these engaging and humorous readers follow a clear scope and sequence, introducing new sounds gradually while revising previously taught phonemes to ensure secure learning.
