There are four levels in the Storybook series - Blue (the easiest), Green, Purple and Turquoise (the hardest). Each level is linked to one of the core Superphonics books. Purple Storybooks practise the sounds taught in Superphonics Book 4. All the Storybooks are fun to read and beautifully designed and illustrated in colour.

Parent and child follow five simple steps: find the rhyming words, find the sounds, blend the sounds, split the word into sounds, and read the word. Superphonics offers swift progress because of its highly focused approach. With just 20 minutes' work a day, most children will complete Book 3 in 1-2 weeks. It is illustrated in colour throughout by Chris O'Neill.
