My Project

I would like to start building my classroom library with decodable books. By building my library, it will help the students become adept at decoding and gain independence in reading. Decodable books provide a stepping stone for early readers to tackle text on their own.

Phonics instruction helps children systematically learn and apply phonetic principles to decode words.

This knowledge helps to promote a strong foundation in reading.

Success in decoding words builds a child’s confidence and particularly benefits children who may struggle with reading.

Thank you for helping me!
