How can I repair my front steps?

My front steps are brick and they are falling apart piece by price, what's the best way to repair them?
Suggested Project Book
Buy them prefab at home stores. Much easier.
Bricklaying a solid form is not for novices. Check for codes that might apply, and watch a lot of videos. If you can try to get a friend to let you watch or help with a similar job. You will need ability in setting a foundation, building a frame, mixing and pouring concrete, laying brick, and meeting all codes, at a minimum. The top needs to be perfectly flat unless you decide to have a runoff slant. And the height of each step and the landing needs to be correct for your home. Best wishes in your project. ☺️
Remove the broken bricks, buy some bricks and some cement mix. You'll need a level, a trowel, and some string. You can go to your local library, and they have "how to" on home repair. The books have illustrations, and pictures. No library card, get one at the desk, you'll need your driver's license to obtain one.
