My Project

Even older students can benefit from reading decodable books, but the way the books look and the way they are presented to the students matter.

The best way to practice a new phonics skill is to apply it by reading a real book!

Decodable books for older students allow striving readers additional opportunities to apply what they have learned when reading. The topics, cover art, and content can make a student want to pick up the book and devour it or avoid it completely.

Help make it an easy choice for older readers. They need support too.
