What Makes Our Decodables Effective
Each reader is 95% decodable
Minimal Visual Distractions
Text is separated from visuals allowing students to focus on decoding and comprehension and removes any “guessing” opportunities.
High Interest Visuals
Visual supports provide meaning, context, and anchor new vocabulary.
Audio Recordings
Each reader includes a QR code on the inside front cover that links to audio recordings of the text. Audio recordings can be used on independent rereadings in school and at home, incorporating the family into learning.
Paired Read Alouds
Each reader includes a read-aloud selection at the back for rich language exposure. Carefully crafted to have nonfiction read-alouds paired with fiction text and fiction read-alouds.
Structured Literacy Activities
Each reader includes activities that address all five pillars of Structured Literacy.
Extra Practice Activities
Each reader includes extra word reading practice for the target sound-spelling relationships and high frequency words.
