Phonics reading list includes a list of books that can be read by a child instructed by phonics. They include:
- the Gospel of Mark, starting with the simple Mark Chapter 1
- First Reader
- Bible Stories for Children, retold by Geoffrey Horn and Arthur Cavanaugh, Illustrated by Arvis Steward (Macmillan Publishing Co. NY 1980)
- The History of Minecraft - if the reader has an interest in that popular program. This interesting article uses years, numbers, capitalization, possessive form, and other elements of style not learned from reading the Bible; this article is also good practice for the "ti" sound.
- Also good for Minecraft players is to read 5 open source alternatives to Minecraft
- Great poems
- Aesop's Fables[1]
- a collection of fun poems for kids[2]
- poems by Robert Louis Stevenson
- excerpts from Shakespeare plays, such as Friends, Romans, Countrymen from Julius Caesar

- popular nursery rhymes
- public domain detective stories: the first three novels in The Hardy Boys series by Franklin W. Dixon (The Tower Treasure, The House on the Cliff, and The Secret of the Old Mill)[3]
- Sherlock Holmes works, all of which entered the public domain as of Jan. 1, 2023[4] - reading level is around grade 8
- Poems Every Child Should Know, by Mary E. Burt[5]
