Unlocking Reading Adventures with Decodable Books

Help me give my students decodable books to help them learn how to read.

My Project

For years, I have been collecting "easy reader" books for students. Unfortunately, they are leveled books that support guessing, using the pictures to decide what is happening, and other poor reader skills.

My students need good quality, decodable readers that support using phonics skills.

These decodable texts force students to apply their phonics skills instead of relying on pictures or guessing to read. When students have books they can read that use the phonics concepts I have been teaching in class, they gain confidence and improve their reading abilities.

I use decodable books as part of my take home library. Students read these fun books at home and then return them the next day. I have had such high interest in this and need more books to fulfill the demand. Our school library is only able to provide paper copies of readers. My first graders are so excited about reading "real books" and not just copies.

My students are dreamers, problem solvers, and likely, the most creative little people you will ever meet. They are a happy group of kids who love school and love to learn. Thank you for contributing to their reading adventures!
