Books for ages 3–5

Phonics readers and Level 1 to 5 picture books: short illustrated books of about 40 to 1,500 story words. Every book shows its age range under its title, so you can find one that fits your child.

Ages say who a book is written for; levels say how long and detailed it is. Phonics through Level 5 suit ages 3 to 5, and Levels 5 to 7 suit ages 6 to 8, so Level 5 works for both. Every child is different, so try a free sneak peek first.

Yes. Phonics readers and picture books are read aloud while each sentence lights up, so your child can follow a book before reading it alone. They can tap any word for a child-friendly explanation. The free sneak peek is silent.

Every book opens with a free sneak peek of its first pages, no account needed. A free Wonder Teller account, with no card required, reads every Free-trial book in full. Basic and Premium plans unlock more of the library, and Premium unlocks every book.
