My Project

My students have been working hard to develop their decoding skills. They are moving quickly through our phonics curriculum. They are eager to read independently.

Please help me give my students more options to practice decoding stories on their own and with support.

These decodable readers are aligned with our phonics progression. They will allow me to have small groups practice specific phonics skills. Students will also be able to choose books that are accessible to them for independent reading. These books are also colorful and interesting for student readers.
