Using Decodable Readers


Decodable Readers allow students to directly apply their phonic knowledge to reading. By reading and re-reading texts, both in school and at home, students get the opportunity to develop a cohesive orthographic map of the words within our language. From there, student’s develop fluency.

It is important the chosen texts match each student’s current phonic knowledge.
