Phonics reading list includes a list of beneficial books that can be read by a child learning by phonics. Large print is essential for a young reader (Century Schoolbook, 28-point font is ideal),[1] as it makes an enormously beneficial difference in the ease of the child's reading.

Four defects in common children's reading material are these: print too small, grammatical errors, liberal claptrap (such as false promotion of evolution), and other depressing or violent content (even in Bible stories).

The following, with the easy-to-read large print, are freely or affordably available:

  • The Wizard of Oz (retold by Samantha Noonan, Arcturus Publishing, 2021) (but there are two minor grammatical errors in this book).
  • Old Mother Goose and Other Nursery Rhymes ("A Little Golden Book," published in 1948 and again in 1988 by Western Publishing Company, Inc., Racine, Wisconsin 53404)
  • Bible Stories for Children, retold by Geoffrey Horn and Arthur Cavanaugh, Illustrated by Arvis Steward (Macmillan Publishing Co. NY 1980) (easy-to-read print with artwork, but flaws in using this book for children include (i) its inclusion of the gruesome John the Baptist death, (ii) its exaggerated use of elderly images in its artwork, and (iii) its dilution of biblical facts, such as Jesus sweating blood during the Passion and demons actually cast out of victims).
  • 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.
  • poems by Robert Louis Stevenson
  • the United States Constitution, starting with its Preamble. The Constitution is filled with phonetic words. State constitutions, too.
  • 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)[5]
  • Sherlock Holmes works, all of which entered the public domain as of Jan. 1, 2023[6] - reading level is around grade 8
  • Poems Every Child Should Know, by Mary E. Burt[7]
