Dark Man: Decodable Editions

With atmospheric illustrations, captivating stories and an innovative design that appeals to (and supports) poor readers, Dark Man has been acclaimed around the world.

The low level series follows a shadowy, brooding loner who has been recruited to play a part in a secret struggle between good and evil.

Each book is a self-contained 100% fully decodable story, while also being part of a greater whole – a kind of ‘Dark Man mythology’.

They’re ideal for teens/adults who’re still practising and consolidating their phonics knowledge (Letters and Sounds Phases 2-5) and need edgy, age-appropriate reading material.

Though rest assured, while these stories look very dark, they only hint at horror – there is actually no ‘tough content’.

NOTE: this series contains the new ‘decodable editions’ of some of our Dark Man titles (where we’ve made the necessary word changes to make the texts 100% fully decodable at Letters and Sounds Phase 5).
