No mystery too big, no Op too wild! Learn to read and read to learn with Wild Detectives decodable fiction and nonfiction.
Wild Detectives is a playful series of adventure-packed decodable stories and linked nonfiction decodable books written by the award-winning author Louise Park and illustrated by the talented Jules Faber (WierDo series illustrator). Following the Little Learners Love Literacy® explicit and cumulative phonics sequence, these whacky detective adventures featuring a gang of furry friends (Cam the alpaca, Pat the cat, Top Rat and Dog Bot) are hilariously fun decodable books that children will want to read.
Each stage consists of a combination of three fiction and two nonfiction titles. A progression of Tier 2 or ‘interesting’ vocabulary is used across fiction and nonfiction contexts to build comprehension.
Stage 3 phonemes and graphemes: y r e qu z; Heart words: he she we do to was.
Once children have been explicitly taught the five Stage 3 letters and sounds (and Heart Words), they can start reading these five delightful Wild Detective books.

- Book 2 (fiction)- The Pegs!
- Book 3 (fiction)-Let the Rat In
