Struggling to find interesting stories your beginner can actually read?
We have designed Phonics Comics especially for you.
Each exciting story introduces just one new sound + a tricky word. All the other words are fully decodable using phonics.
AVAILABLE NOW FOR EVERYONE
Print at home as a comic, on a single page, or read on screen.
We've put in the same love, care, craft and phonics know-how as a printed book. But there's no postage. No shop visits. No delivery time.
A moment of understanding and excitement reading a Phonics Comic
Sitting with your child and reading comics is a great bonding experience for parents and children.
Make yourself comfortable and take your time!
PERFECT PARTNER
Made to work with The Phonics App
The comics follow exactly the same order as The Phonics App. So now as soon as you've learned a sound, you have a comic to read to practise. Every new comic only contains the new sound + the sounds that have come before it in the app.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What age are the comics for?
They're written for children learning to read with phonics — typically around ages 4–5, but the right comic depends on the sounds your child knows, not their age.
My child can already read confidently, will they enjoy them?
These comics are specifically for learning to read. If you child can already read well, check out our list of recommended comics.
Is The Phonics App required?
No. The comics pair perfectly with the app, but they work just as well on their own if you are at the right level.
Can the comics be read on a tablet?
Yes — the PDFs look great on a tablet. Most families print them too, because children love holding (and keeping) their own comic.
Is a colour printer required?
No. We have a specially created black and white version with improved contrast. You can select which version to download after purchase, and download a different version at a later time.
What paper size should I use?
Everything is designed for standard A4 paper or US Letter paper. If you're printing the folding Zine version make sure you print at 100% size so the folds work correctly.
Can teachers use them?
The standard licence covers one household. If you'd like to use Yap in a classroom, get in touch.
How are files delivered?
Immediately after purchase you'll be able to download the comics in the format of your choice.
What happens if I lose my comic?
You can recover your purchase any time from the recover page using the email address you bought with and the code you receive after buying.
