Does this phonics program exist?

[Desert Strawberry]

I want something similar to Progressive Phonics, but ready-made readers, preferably hardbound. Cute, nonirritating stories that make some kind of logical sense, no nonsense words. I like the back and forth, parent and child reading style of PP. 

I want readers that explain the rules, not just have them read. 
 

MUST be completely secular!

 

I know I can print PP, and I will if I can't find something already printed. I don't have a printer and printing is a PITA.

It's a really unique program. I don't know of anything similar. I used it for my two. I taught the phonogram associated with each book prior to using the book. A printing place could print perhaps.

 

I See Sam are non-irritating and you can purchase them printed and soft bound booklet style. But they aren't back and forth readers like PP, and they don't follow a phonogram progression like PP either. I did like them though. I wasn't impressed with any of the other readers I found.

I think Usborne has a similar concept, but the chunks of text for the kids are longer and not just like one word as in PP. I think it's their My First Readers. I'll find the link.

We found some of them at our library. They're a little more advanced seeming than PP, but dd has liked them and they're nicely illustrated.

Oh I just saw you wanted the rules explained. Not sure the Usborne ones do that. Sorry!

The I See Sam readers might work.  www.iseesam.com or www.3rsplus.com
