Phonics is the study for teaching the method of reading and writing of an alphabet language (Wikipedia). This study is essential because it helps the children in learning new and unfamiliar words by recognizing similar sounds and categorizing them based on the sounds. This way, they remember the words for a longer duration of time compared to the learning that happens through sight.

The books step-up the learning process as each book increases the difficulty level according to the age-group of the child.
